The Right Choice

A mystery-puzzle game made for GMTK 2025.

You're a lost spirit, trapped in a maze of looping rooms and deceptive doors.
Time is running out — and only one path leads to freedom.

Featuring haunting music and three possible endings, this short puzzle game will test your problem-solving skills… and your intelligence.

Make the right choice… or be trapped forever.

Timer

In each room, you have 30 seconds before the Keeper of the In-Between sends you back to the first room.
In some rooms, the timer will reset after going through a door to make things a bit easier.

🎮 Controls

  • WASD to Move

  • R to Restart

🏁 Endings

Find all three endings to uncover the full story.

🚨 RED ALERT! Spoiler Tips

Room 4 Tip:
The correct door is 8 doors from left to right, starting from the first door — so take the 8th door.

Room 5 Tip:
These are math puzzles. The answer to each puzzle tells you which door to choose.
If the answer is x, go through the xth door, counting from the leftmost door.

🙏 Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who played, rated, and commented on The Right Choice!
This was my first game jam and the first full game I've ever released.

I’ve learned so much from this experience, and your feedback has helped me understand what worked — and what needs to be improved. I'm already working on a post-jam version that will include:

  • A better camera

  • Movement improvements

  • Optional checkpoints

  • More rooms & endings

  • Expanded story

This project means a lot to me, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share it.
You've made this experience unforgettable.
