Thank you!! Yes, the tasks are supposed to feel endless and hopeless. My game testers were equally as confused! I posted my game play video at the end of the game description page as a walkthrough. In there you can see how I got to the first ending.

Are there multiple other endings to this psychological horror experience too? So it was meant to feel like an exaggerated, overwhelming version of real life? So clever.
I have a lot of respect for your work. The only problem is that you did too well, and it’s unclear if you’re playing the game “correctly” or heading toward an intended goal, much like in real life which can lead to frustration and quitting, again (much like in life). LOL
I don’t think that’s a negative thing. It is just a constructive feedback if the goal is to keep the player’s attention. I did give it multiple attempts (before seeing the walkthrough) and thought it was a fascinating and well designed environment. Thanks for the guide!
