More than interesting premise that gets even better on its execution. The creepy atmosphere and the barely tolerable presence of the mother has its purpose, nothing is a fakeout or smoke and mirrors to deviate from the mystery, something that's been getting harder and harder to find in contemporaneous horror.
UPDATE: Please play the demo on itch, specially if you played the game before.

The artwork is super cool and I think that this is a wonderfully twisted take on the theme of "delaying the inevitable", but the game itself just barely works to the point where I don't really have a strong appreciation for it. There are 2 little minigames and one of them feels unreasonably difficult/straight up broken to the point where the little gameplay loop doesn't even feel like it goes anywhere beyond "just pray that you don't have to deal with that one minigame". I respect how much got done in the gamejam here but I feel like prioritising the gameplay side of things a tiny bit more would've gone a long way in tying this together to make for a good little time rather than making something that is presented so well but just doesn't work properly.
