My first complete fangame, made in ~2 months.

I like tier lists, so if you want to make a chart for the rooms in the game here you go (spoilers for all the rooms obviously): https://tiermaker.com/create/i-wanna-be-the-caretaker-621666

Me lo encontre en youtube, gracias a esto estoy entrando al mundo de los fangames de iwbtg, soy bastante noob, pero en este juego estoy llegando sorprendentemente lejos. Lo que quiero decir es que para recien empezar es buen juego, aparte las musicas de Everywhere at the end of time le pega mucho a un iwbtg, y el creador uso la musica de bueno forma. 10/10 y de los mejores fangames

Pretty fun game, most of the gimmicks were pretty good, probably my least favorite would be the ones where you need to wait for cycles.

A beautiful, haunting needle game. Caretaker features some super fun platforming that takes advantage of unique gimmicks and more well known fare equally, creating something that is fun to play whether it's feeling new or familiar. The atmosphere of the game is also really well done, bringing an evocative, horror-adjacent feeling to the game. It feels like a spiritual successor to Dopamine's games, which is a massive complement.

I haven't heard the music this game is inspired by, but I know of the themes, and I must say this game does an excellent job conveying them. The feeling of mounting horror mixed with melancholy is drawn out through incredible use of visuals and audio, creating a truly emotional experience.

Overall, this game is an easy recommendation for fans of gimmick needle, but especially those who like thematic artistic games.

A very fun and relatively long gimmicky needle game. I like the atmosphere and the music that is based off of the Caretaker's album "Everywhere at the End of Time". Definitely recommend.
