This was honestly an interesting and really fun take on a  time loop and liminal spaces! The minimalism of the game really helped shine through the story and the choices and it was very fun to dissect and go through everything.

While the story did have some holes in it and some parts did not make sense (Think I discuss it in the video, do not remember right now), it was really enthralling seeing how things kept on going until the 'End'. 

Wished there were more choices so there could be potentially more to explore and do, but it was still very interesting how things played out the way it did and you did a great job on this game!

Great game, really loved the almost liminal space design to the office building, really creates a great atmosphere when things seem to move around you. I really enjoyed the story, it does feel like the loop will never really be broken.

This was a really interesting game. It had a very spooky and unsettling vide to it.

Ohhh this was fun! I love spooky office stories! I keep thinking about what to say here and getting caught up in reliving the story, so I think it's safe to say that I liked all of it very much (that second phone call...whew). If you ever wanted to do more short form things like this (the return of Francoise? 👀), I'd love to see them!
