PLAYGROUND

It's my first game so I hope there's not too many bugs. I made it for GMTK Game Jam 2025, where the theme was "loop", I hope you like my take on that. Feel free to leave any suggestion on how I could improve.

I forgot to explain it in the game but at the very start you need to press the spacebar or enter to start the first dialogue. And you can pause with 'esc', remember that.

This game turned out pretty strange, I wouldn't know how to categorize it. I focused a lot on the dialogues so I hope they'll leave you impressed, On the other hand I didn't have enough time to balance the gameplay as I would have wanted so I hope it's enyojable. If you're really stuck I'll leave some hints down after the credits.
