A Story About Breaking the Loop and Finishing a Game Jam
About the Game:
This is a role-playing game where you play as a developer trying to finish and submit a Game Jam project within a limited amount of time — sounds simple, right?
But why does the final click to submit your files never seem to arrive?
Why does your finished work keep resetting?
Why are there always more tasks to complete?
Why does it keep looping back to the same day?
…
Am I losing my mind?
Or… am I already unwell?
Controls:
- Move - W A S D & ↑ ↓ ← →
- Space - interact
Game Events
In the game, you’ll encounter three tasks you need to complete in order to continue your work:
- 🕹️ Browser Game
While using the computer, click the Crome icon to start this mini-game. Press the spacebar to make the capybara jump over obstacles and collect oranges for point
- 🐱 Finding the Cats
After hearing a meow, head to the garden to trigger this event. Look for cats hidden around the garden and click on them to reveal them.
- 🌱 Watering the Flowers
This event is triggered near the flower stand in the garden. Press the spacebar to control the watering can and water the plants until the progress bar on the left is full.
(If you wait more than five minutes, you will be able to enjoy the changing of the day
: D)

I like the overall art style, very beautiful especially when it comes to night. But the night effect prevents me from finding cats, it's really hard to find cats and I only got 2, then the game automatically ended (I guess it reached 10 mins). Looking forward to next release!
I like the design of the title border and the game’s relaxing atmosphere, but the chromatic aberration effect is too strong, somewhat affects the viewing experience. I also couldn't manage to trigger the watering event.
Thank you for your advice! Unfortunately, the watering game is not in the game yet. However, it will be included in the next release.
