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

A horrible yet artistically beautiful experience translated into a fangame.

People have analyzed this game from top to bottom already, and I shall agree, if you can bear the slightly dark theme, this game is a must-play.

A well made carefully crafted game with a gloomy intoxicating theme. I really enjoyed the game and atmosphere. The quality of the game was over the top so I give it a 10/10. Would recommend.

For the creators first fangame, this game is very, very good. I'll leave it to the other reviewers to talk about the origins of the music, as I mainly want to focus on the execution of the game itself.

The gameplay and gimmicks are overall fun, and I found the puzzles satisfying to solve, however some gimmicks can require you to wait out long cycles before you can try a part of the screen again. I also experienced some weird bugs with how moving platforms behaved, and I would often slide off them without pressing any movement keys.

For me, the biggest letdown I experienced was the atmosphere and the visuals, combined with the music of course. I felt like there was a lot of wasted potential to convey the mental deterioration that the albums portray. The visuals of each stage don't feel like they are deteriorating, instead, it feels like you get a new theme with each stage. This problem is especially prevalent in stage 5, where the tileset and colors feel very, very out of place, especially compared to the direction the stage prior was taking with its visuals.

Conclusion: Good gameplay, fun puzzles, some mildly annoying stuff, decent visuals, good music. Would recommend.

Me gusto mucho el concepto, y que no sea taaan dificil, o sea, yo empeze a jugar fangames hace 2 o 3 dias y me pase este en 2 horas. Aparte, la musica encaja muy bien en este fangame ya que bueno, es del mismo tema XD (alzheimer). Y yo por eso lo recomiendo, aparte que tiene unas buenas gimmicks xd

One of the only fangames you might get emotional over.

Masterpiece of a game.
