This is a pretty neat game; I really like the concept. That said, some of the clues were far too obscure. Sometimes the answer is obvious to the writer but it may not be so to the audience. I really like that you put some spoilers here for us, I just wish they weren't necessary.

Also, the demon hand is more than a little annoying. I feel like the challenge in a game such as this is piecing together the mystery and figuring out what we must do to proceed. Having to avoid the demon hand lest we have to replay the entire game again is... annoying. I'm not saying it can't be done, just that it didn't seem to add anything to the experience here; and it would be absolutely miserable in a longer game.

I hope you continue with this project or something similar; I quite enjoyed it.
