This is great! I love how you tell us so much about the character through showing us his room.
Thank you!!
Thanks for making such a real and raw experience. It was simplistic, but good and got the point across. Visually it was great, I love this style. Movement was kinda janky, but no worries, because it didn't detract from the experience. I look forward to seeing what else you make :)
Here's my playthrough if you are interested in watching. It's the second game featured.
Guys please don't give up on life nothing ever ends up good..you will always regret it in the end..🤍

Thank you!!
the fact that this made by construct really makes me impressed, i dont see many construct games. Also I love the story too!
Thanks man! :)
me crying at the end bc the dead body
For some reason the game doesn't load for me, when I try to run the game it just stays in a black screen for some reason, no sound, no image, nothing. Waited for 10 minutes and nothing, doesn't know why this is happening :/
Same here, honestly i was excited to play but it just isn't loading :/
The music really fits the game, good choices. It is a very exciting experience and I'm surprised you only made this in one day 5/5
Haha thank you!!
A very nice experience.
Thank you! :D
Love the music, but I can't deal w screenshakes, makes me dizzy :(
NOOOOOO RE-TURIO
as someone who suffers from mental illness this is very relatable. idk how to explain it, it resonates though. very well done!
Thank you! I'm glad it resonated with you!
Just finished the game pretty deep to be so short. Liked it a lot though here is my reaction if you wanna watch.
Thank you sm man!
This game was just the right amount of creepy,heavy, and just downright great! 10/10 would play again
(rated it 5⭐!)
Thank you so much!! :D
really heavy, i liked it
Thank you! :)
Intense game. Great atmosphere.
Thanks, man!! I appreciate it :)
I really loved the concept of the main character suffering from chronophobia and the various visual images used to portray his thoughts and feelings. However, it would be better if more visual images used are targeted towards the fear of time, maybe more experiences where he does something and the time is running out etc. I felt that more experiences related to time could be added to build-up towards the ending at the end. Overall, I really loved the game concept and I would like to see more games from you in the future.
Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.
Thank you! I wasn't expecting this to get any sort of attention! I definitely agree with you about going more in-depth, and I totally would have if it wasn't for me basically doing this in a day for a school project xD
