The Endless Room
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This is my entry for Ludum Dare 47, "stuck in a loop".
You are stuck going through the same room forever. To unlock the door to the next iteration of the room, you have to find the difference between the current room and the last one you where in.
See the included Readme file for controls and specific instructions.

Haven't been able to make it past room 1. I'm convinced that the game is bugged and that there are no differences between the two rooms...
Also, I can't tell what pressing the "Hint" button is supposed to have done. Nothing seems to happen except that my hint counter goes down by one.
The hint button, the H key, is supposed to show text on the screen hinting about what kind of object changed, and how it changed.
Sometimes the change between rooms can be pretty subtle. If the hints don't pop up for you, then I don't know what to say. The game works fine for me.
Well, I obviously don't have access to your game's code, but it seems possible to me that if for some reason no difference is generated, the game might throw some kind of exception and thus fail to generate the hint text as well. So if this turns out to be a bug that multiple people are experiencing, the code that generates the difference between rooms should probably be the first place you should look.
