How does your game fit the theme?
The game fits the "Loop" theme because the core mechanic involves rewinding time after each attempt to save your parents from a home invasion. You are constantly looping back to a specific point, making new choices within that repeated timeframe to try and achieve a better outcome.

The length was helpful in trying out the different options without taking too long. It was a fun text-based adventure game! It's definitely didn't understand all the different possibilities, but I would have appreciated getting more story based hints as to what I should be doing--it felt like trial and error was my only option. That's definitely no easy task to create so many possibilities and connect them all, though!

I had a good time playing and was happy to get the good ending--nice job!

It took me a little too much time to save everyone. But I did it. : ) I really like it. Great job.

Developer

I think I made it too difficult. Thanks for playing my game and for four kind words!

Developer

Thank you. It's the cartoony style I use in most of my games.

Interesting visual novel. I think I explored every route and only one lead me to the good ending. I think more than one good ending would have been ideal, but that's just my humble opinion. Props to you for also adding a spanish option (being native langauge, it's cool seeing someone taking the time to include it 🤝)

Developer

Hi. Yeah, there's only one happy ending and I agree with you that I should have added some more. That feedback was given to me by others too. This was my first ever visual novel, so I'm getting experience and learning. Thanks for the comment about Spanish. Thanks for playing and giving feedback.

its the first visual novel game I’ve played and its really cool! I love your daughter created the woman art, you must be so proud!

Developer

Yeah I'm proud of her. She's really better than me. This is my first visual novel and I never play them because they have planty of text. So I tried something short. Thanks for playing the game.

Really nice game. I liked the story and how you can change the outcome. Music and audio suited the atmosphere really well.

Developer

IThat's reat that you liked te game. Appreciate you playing it and for your kind words!

I like the vibe and choice of music. It really makes you feel immerse into the story. Also, the art could have been more less vibrant. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing the game. I chose the music and I think the same, it's perfect for the game. As for the art, I only draw cartoony style, but I agree it's not the best style for a thriller game like this. Appreciate you playing and for your feedback.

It was really fun exploring all the different endings! The music added a dramatic touch and fit the mood perfectly.

Developer

Thank you. I'm glad you liked the game and enjoyed it.

Developer

Not normally my type of game, but this was good fun finding all the endings.

Developer

Yeah I don't play visual novels either, I'm happy you enjoyed this jam game. Thanks.

I liked the sound effects, very dramatic! I do think the visuals don't match the tone particularly well, but they at least give you a better idea of what's going on. Nice entry!

Developer

That's good feedback, yeah the game art is cartoony like most of my games but the music and narrative is completly dark. Thanks for playing the game and for your kind words.

I loved how you can use knowledge from failed routes to help you find the correct one. Spoilers: I found out that attacking the burglars or wasting too much time will end in failure, so I used that knowledge to avoid some routes and navigate my way to victory!

Developer

Thanks for your comment. It's good to know you enjoyed the game and you could achieve victory.

The loop feels more like a 'reset' right now.

Idea itself is fun tho

Developer

Thank you for playing the game. I'm glad you liked the idea.

It's not a bad idea, but this doesn't really stick out to me as distinct from any other visual novel, the "time-loop" aspect really isn't present within the narrative. I also don't think a robber would so quickly turn to violence, and I'm not really sure why my correct choice was the best one.

Developer

Thank you for playing my game. It's the first "visual novel" jam game I've made. It's a genre I don't play (ever) but it was the only thing it occured to me with the little time I had (I only made it in the last 48 hours because of my real life job).
