A downloadable game for Windows

9:55 AM is a short first-person narrative experience created for GMTK Game Jam 2026.

You wake up at 9:55 AM, already running late for work. With only a few minutes before your boss loses patience, every second matters. Rush through your morning routine, make quick decisions, and try to reach the office on time.

At first, everything seems simple.

Until you realize that every day ends the same way...

No matter how hard you try, you're always confronted with a mistake you didn't even know you made.

Each failure teaches you something new, forcing you to remember yesterday's lesson and improve your routine the next time you wake up.

Can you discover every forgotten habit and finally break the loop?
