Very interesting game. I was really worried I was stuck in a loop haha! I do realize it is more of an interactive story, but I wish there was just a little more movement or interactions. I was curious what would happen if I took the pills or drank the coffee. But a cool game nonetheless.
Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here (the game is the first there):
Advantages:
1. There are different endings. I think the game benefits a lot of that because that extents the gameplay and makes the whole experience more involving.
2. The graphics are cool. There are not so much to do in the game so at least it's nice to look at.
3. The game scared me as a horror game should) I didn't expect to be scared so game 1 : me 0.
Disadvantages:
1. There are no gameplay. The coffee sequence gets to be boring after a while and also it would be a nice touch if you could actually see the coffee spilling in the coffee maker.
2. It's strange how it is always 6 o'clock no matter how light it is outside. I mean they get up at 6, making their coffee then go to sleep then get up to witness strange shit? Like they have no life or what? Maybe it would be cool to see different sequences of the routine or get from coffee making straight to the TV without the alarm clock scene.
Overall:
I enjoyed the game, it was rather weird but I got scared. Moreover, I am pretty sure I didn't get all the endings but just a few. Still, I think there is a possibility for further developing.
Damn, I missed one more ending that will lead me to the REAL ending... This is the second part of the gameplay, you can watch the first part on my channel :)
In my perspective, this game is a game about never ending endings where all endings eventually come to an end. These endings are considered routines because routines change for different reasons. some routines might change or disappear because of an accident, you dont like it anymore, you need a change, death, or because you start having a different perspective on life. The pills represent a different day. one day closer to the true ending. one day closer to knowing that your routine could change because you are one day closer to death. I really enjoyed this game and I know that what I just wrote above might not make any sense cuz honestly I dont even know what I just wrote. Here is my video on the game:

I have a special place for Corpsepile games as "Open house" started my channel and foray into Itch.io horror games. However, with that bias aside, this game was brilliantly done. Perhaps it was relatable, or perhaps it was whack and weird. I am so annoyed that I didn't push ahead to get the final ending but nonetheless, this was an amazing experience. Thanks for making my day!
So The Open House and this one are connected... I have so many interpretations, and one of them is that there is no "routine" - we trap ourselves in a perpetual nightmare... but sometimes, the change will happen, in one way or another, regardless of our initiative or lack of action... or it could just be a psychotic guy experiencing deja vu and obsessed with conspiracy theories, hence the pill bottle wih one pill dissapearing each day... nonetheless, the little references to the Open House were interesting!
SUPER cool game. I did not know what to expect and this one really threw me in a loop. (Hah). Hope you have the chance to check out my play-session sometime! My favorite was the remote btw.

I would absolutely love an option to take the pills but the concept was cool!

Look what the routine made me do! I guess the mundane routine of life twisted me into this monster.
