Took me an embarrassingly long time to realize the brown italics were telling me which clues to put together but after I figured that out it was a cascade of recalls. Very fun!
This made me realize I suck at reading
could you make this seem less like opus 5's AI writing :( regardless i appreciate the updates you've been doing to the game
Who doesn't like AI text?
Pretty interesting game
Honestly quite an amazing experience.
Smart! Good music, great mechanics, excellent writing.
i have been trying for over an hour and i just cannot get the ending. i have the 23 observations and the 16 recalls but for some reason i just cant put all the information together in the way it wants me too. i cant tell if im just stupid or maybe ive got some glitch or smth
I also had trouble with that so don't worry :D
Posted a spoiler in case that helps you!

One of the biggest twists of the game is that the protagonist is female, and therefore she is Sidney. The male body is Morgan. Let me know if that was your issue!oh thank you so much
i had that twist figured out but had the names around the wrong way
Felt a bit stuck sometimes so the hint button helped a lot. I'm huge Obra Dinn/Roottrees/etc. fan, so the game is enjoyable. Also, I think it would benefit from a more clear structure, because now observed things are bit chaotic, so later it's harder to remember what belongs to what room etc.
Thank you for playing! Love the feedback. I’ll look into some kind of feature to help players navigate back to specific scenes today when I have the time.
Big big fan of Type Help and I enjoyed the game and story a TONS! (I feel slay yay) love the writing, so engaging.
Amazing choice on BGM and button sound effects too! Music reminds me of days playing Umineko
The keywords combining system somehow reminds me of Doodle God, would be nice if the combo is more forgiven (e.g., Apartment=Room#, Name=body etc)
at first i am overwhelmed by the amount of text to read. but the music is great. relaxing but also has a subtle mystery in it. i kept on reading. and i got hooked! i got 16/17 recalls! can you give me a hint pleeeaase! i want to know the story more!!! i have to!!
Added a Stuck button at the top. It will now just give you the token combo one hint at a time! Thank you for playing!
i did it! got to the end! omg! i love it! i didnt expect it to be like that at all! is that plot twist on purpose?!
of course! More twists were planned originally but got cut because it’s a game jam game. Glad you enjoyed it!
Tried to play this but there is no explanation to the 'remember' mechanic. The only thing I got was Myself + Robin Mercer -> a recollection. But there are no guidelines whatsoever as to how to use this mechanic.
Thanks for trying my game out and I’m sorry that was your experience!
Did you read the question mark on the top right corner and still found it confusing? There are actually two built in hint systems to guide you along, but maybe those werent clear enough.
Let me know and I’ll try to update the game today to explain it better.
OK I've updated the description of the Help Section, and also added a Stuck button to guide players along with next memory scene if they are stuck.
If you're willing, give it another try!
Would be nice to enlarge the font size! I couldn't continue brcause it was straining my eyes :(
Added :)
I might have missed a few texts here and there but I think it should be good for you now. Settings is on the top right corner. Let me know!
