Très sympa. Les grphismes font un peu peur de prime abord mais ça va avec l'ambiance du jeu. Ambiance musciale nickel. Scenario super. Difficulté des énigmes bien dosées.
I love this game soo much, altough i might be a little bit biased because its based on my home country lol. Its very unique and creative, andi love the similarites to real life places in sweden and this game. This is def my comfort game. I did think the game was a bit hard tho, and i dont really think i would be able to finish it without the help of youtube tutorials.
Clever puzzle game about a dude stuck in a time loop! The art style is great, the events are whacko, and the characters are great. Only 2,5 minuses: - Occasionally not so intuitive puzzles, but there are guides out there. - There are checkpoints, but only in some cases. Repeating some of the end game loops can be a bit tedious. - Half minus: A lot of the humor is based on Swedish culture, so you should definitely play it if you're Swedish! Not sure if you would get everything if you are not.
interesting to use information you've gathered to make progress in the next run, like outerwilds
Brilliant, even thought a little bit rough around some edges! Maybe be extra forgiving initially, and it will likely not disappoint you!
I absolutely just love it
Please don't get me wrong here. The game itself might be good maybe even very good. Alas, i didn't play long enough to find out. After 3 loop restarts and 3 crashes I requested a refund.

This game is the definition of an unpolished hidden gem. It has a ton of personality and style, and it is built around a Groundhog Day style time loop narrative that is not only rarely seen, but also extremely well executed. The game has [b]serious swag[/b]. The art style is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but it is incredibly unique. The character design is great, the soundtrack is limited but consistently good, and the overall vibe is excellent. Everything works together to create a strong atmosphere, and the time loop mechanic just feels great. I had to go through around 80 loops to 100% the game, and most of those loops taught me something new. Sometimes you get a new piece of lore, other times you learn how to optimize a route between two places. It’s hard to get into details without spoiling the game, so I’ll just leave it at that. That said, the rough edges are very real. Movement is easily the weakest part of the game. It feels awkward and unpleasant, and I am sure it will push some people away early on. You can get used to it, but it never really feels good. There are also other mechanics that are simply not well executed, like combat. It is abundantly clear that programming is not the creator’s strongest suit, and I honestly think the game might have been better if those elements had been replaced entirely with simpler, narrative alternatives. The process of getting the good ending was also frustrating without outside help. You are locked out of it early on in your playthrough, and unless I missed something, there does not seem to be any hint in the game that informs the player of this. I will hide the condition with spoiler tags, but I recommend you read it. [spoiler]You need to be in a fresh save file, you can’t load checkpoints, and you can’t restart the loop.[/spoiler] This might just be my subjective opinion, but I really think this was bad game design and could have been handled differently. Even with these issues, I am glad I played it. I stuck with it because of its ideas, mood, and ambition. If you enjoy time loop narratives and can tolerate some jank, it is absolutely worth your time.
Very underrated game. It is so motivating and well designed, you really feel smart playing it.
