How does your game fit the theme?
You are stuck in a recurring nightmare, in a loop that you can reset by falling asleep. The theme of the loop is also represented graphically by the number 8, which is used subtly throughout the game (in the title itself, the music with 2x8 bits with loops as well, 8 rooms…). We plan to improve the loop system by allowing players to keep their items between each loop and shortening the duration of each loop accordingly so that the player takes full advantage of the loop mechanic. We were going to add it, but last-minute bugs left us no time!

Very nice project ! That made my evening !
Loved this! It has good atmosphere, good camera works, and good design. A shame I cannot beat it though, allowing players to retain clues would really elevate the experience. Also liked the killer plush's design!
Loved it! Such a great atmosphere and really engaging from start to finish.
Beautiful graphics and color palette, looking forward to seeing more!
Honestly has a lot of potential.
loved everything about this, the art, the music, everything fits the vibe!
Loved it! The art and color palette were awesome, and that tight camera in small spaces really made it creepy to go into new rooms. The music also nailed the spooky vibe. Great job :)
Nice job! The art looks incredible! You feel the unsettling mood. I just wasn't sure what's exactly happening in the game before reading the itch page.
beautiful artwork and sound design. I love the color palette and the character sprite.
Thank you so much!
If you want another creepy story, feel free to take a look a mine.
Awesome game, I don't like horror games in general but this one is great !
Thank you so much!
Atmospheric and beautiful art! Changing the color palette after each sleep and revealing some mysteries is really cool!
Thank you so much!
Awesome art!!
Thank you so much!
Incredible atmosphere! The art and the music were both stunning, really impressive :D
I couldn't beat it unfortunately, could only ever find 4 pieces of the teddy. Like you mentioned, I think allowing the player to keep the pieces they found between loops would be a great change.
Overall this was a really great submission!
Thank you so much! We will provide an update soon after the results are announced to fix the Teddy mechanics. Follow us to receive notifications.
nice game! I couldn't beat it :( but it was fun figuring out the dynamics of the monster
Thank you so much! An update will be provided soon after the results are announced. Follow us to receive notifications.
Done!
I really liked how immersive this game is. It feels super nice and super spooky when you're avoiding the bear. I did notice the bear could get stuck behind a table at the bottom of the map, but that was the only issue I ran into.
Thank you so much! An update will be provided soon after the results are announced. Follow us to receive notifications.
I'm so easily spooked and I definitely felt tense with the music, atmosphere, and how the camera only lets you see one room at a time haha. That said, I wish the monster can be a bit more predictable, as I hid from it once and when I came out I couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe it's a design choice that it works this way? But it felt like the monster popped in and out and I couldn't predict when to hide.
That said, the art is wonderful! The limited palette is moody and a great choice!
Thank you so much! An update will be provided soon after the results are announced. Follow us to receive notifications.
Loved the vibes of this game and the art direction!! especially the scary rabbit plush that kills you haha! :3
Thanks you so much!
Very polished and slick game. I walked right into the horrible creature on entering a room and yelped. Well done on the vibes.
Thanks you so much!
Big fan of the artsyle and camera zooming in and out! Animations and transitions are also great, I can tell this game is extremely polished, great work!
Thanks you so much!
Exquisitely crafted pixel art brings the world to life, while dynamic effects masterfully build atmosphere—all elevated by perfectly tuned sound design. This level of polish is incredible, especially for a Game Jam project!
Thanks you so much!
