About

This game was made in 3 days for the GMTK Jam 2025.

Rumination is the act of repetitively dwelling on negative thoughts, feelings, or experiences, often without finding resolution or taking action. In this veery short top-down narrative escape room, you must complete all your daily tasks to progress and escape this loop of ruminating thoughts. The story is based on real (however mundane) events.

Calling it GroundHUG Day :)
How did you create the fractal levels, if I may ask?

hahaha love this. I created a prefab for the Env art, duplicated and scaled it by 1/3 multiple times. Then it was just moving the camera to the same place in the smaller scene and looping the camera movement to return to that position in the bigger space.
