A downloadable game

This is my submission for the GMTK Game Jam. Its my spin on the theme 'Loop', exploring the way that living with mental health problems can feel like you're stuck in a continuous loop, especially when you cant feel any progress. 

To be perfectly honest, I don't like how the game looks. However, this is because I spent 3 hours on the concept and GDD (which if you look at, will show you just how much I overshot for the time I had T^T), 11 hours on drawings, horrendously overslept, ended up coding from 1pm till 3am with like a 2 hour break coz I got distracted by a film after dinner. (I am sorry for the rambling it’s nearly 3:30 I am so tired) The only assets I didn't make are the particle effects by COMICOMI on the asset store.  Everything else was either drawn or coded by me. No tutorials btw, so as you can imagine it is an absolute MESS.

I'm sorry that the art style and general quality of the game isn't great but I've had to finish it alone in 2 days due to working both days at the weekend. If you'd like to see a much better representation of my work please look at my profile. (CasinoTD has the best itch page I've made and also is just the best game I've worked on full stop, so please check it out)

Anyway, I hope you like it, its actually pretty fun to play and has a nice story I think. There's even a whole two - that's right, TWO - endings for you to enjoy!


Oh and TW!! Hints to SH, not explicitly shown and no gore.
