The Generic Time Loop Puzzle Platformer
Made for GMTK Jam 2025
Controls: Mouse only--The platformer is just a starting screen that doesn't affect the gameplay itself.
You, the player, is trying to figure out the mystery force trapped you inside a time loop on a computer. Navigate through documents, searches, and even your own thoughts... to find a way out! However... did you really win?
This game is made for GMTK Jam 2025!
It is mostly relied on narratives, and I don't want to spoil the game. The full story of the game is posted on the end screen (Which you can access through getting one of the endings). All I can say here is that it's a story about apocalypse, time loop(obviously), and guilt.

Super creative!
I love the interpretation of the theme, and the simulated desktop is executed perfectly. It’s a bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a lot of fun. Great job!
i love the game, the art style is very good, the story is interesting, the game mechanich is also very good, i love it! i cant belive it was made in 4 days!!!
Thanks so much for playing!!! I'm glad you liked it :D I was afraid the game is made to be a bit too counterintuitive at the start, haha.
Thanks again! I will try to play your game again and finish your game tomorrow!
Very interesting game with cool fonts. Exploring through different clues is fun. Loop many times to get to the "ending".
Thanks so much for playing and getting to the end!!! I tried to have some variations with the fonts so the game feels a bit more like an actual computer(Although I kind of failed at doing that haha).
I believe that the hospitalized dev was me XD! Love it! You really nailed at the jokes!
Thanks so much for playing!!! The hospitalized dev was an idea when I was getting really stressed over the day 2 development haha. I'm trying to mix some jokes in so it doesn't feel like a horror game ;D
I will play your game soon! Just have to eat first and I will review!
