Hello, I'm the artist for the animations and scenes here. I FINALLY GOT THE 2ND ENDING  OMG. IT TOOK ME SO SO SO SO MANY TRIALS JUST TO GET IT, but it's worth it. 50 TRIALS, HELP ME. IM SCARED

Yo, love the game, but god damn that second minigame was difficult! :(

first! i'm sure i told you already, but i really enjoy this premise for a puzzle game! i know you made a joke about comparing it to Twelve Minutes, but i think there's something very unique and fun about a time-loop puzzle game where you're only given about 10 seconds to make a decision. i also like that you're required to be shot by the killer at least once to piece together what's going on and how to solve it, it forces the player to pay close attention to their surroundings to come up with a solution. i always like a game that makes a player experiment to find solutions, so the fact that a lot of the props in the room don't seem to do anything adds to the futility of the situation as well.

i and another player have already said that it was difficult putting together the solution for the final puzzle before the confrontation, so my suggestion for that was to perhaps add a hint somewhere in the room, like changing the description of the photo on the desk (for example, making it a description of a person having a rug pulled out from under them). 

i like that the minigame for wrestling the gun out of the killer's hands is impossible to win, too! it reminded me of Your Turn To Die, tricking the player into engaging with a mechanic for something that's ultimately impossible to win... however, the graphics of the two space bars being rapidly clicked made me assume i had to mash the space key in order to stay in the bar, when in actuality i merely had to hold it lol. i think that may have also tripped me up on the first gun dodging QTE, as i pressed the space bar too early.

speaking of which, i love the idea of there being 2 endings, but the second one being nearly impossible to find! i tried 5 times in a row to get it (i was 1 miss away!) before i realized the timing and size of the cues was completely randomized...so even if it is possible, it feels futile, which i think definitely works with the themes of the original AMV.

the graphics were very cute too, i loved the little animations at the end, and the use of mixed-media with real stop motion of your hands was so cool to look at! i really like this game and i hope others play and enjoy it too :]
