How to go somewhere?) The player seem to be blocked in the chair, I tried all the controls

Don't worry, that the point of the game, you're supposed to interact with your surrounding with the controls detailed in the description of the game. Try to throw things at the ceiling and perhaps the broken tile could reveal something …

Thanks, now I see. Is there something after "Nice try" thing with the gas? Also, unfortunately, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do after that part.

Developer

Well first of all good job for making it that far. The next part's a bit tricky : there should have been a small red bolt that fell from the valve you opened and you're supposed to use it to open the locked drawer on the left side of the desk. But honestly the puzzles are very unintuitive so i'm sorry if you can't figure them out. Also feel free to ask for help for the next part !

Thanks a lot for the guidance. I managed to get to the "do nothing" purpose question, but stuck again :( 
But I'm enjoying the game indeed. Music and the visuals such as the eye are great. 

Developer

Alright sooo… This is actually a trick, the keyboard really doesn't have any purpose it's just meant to confuse you (now that I say that I realize that confusing the player really wasn't necessary). But in the drawer you unlocked previously there should have been a clipboard which you can insert in any of the holes of the computer. Then with the next item you get, you need to throw it at the eye and the end should be pretty intuitive. Also, would you mind giving me your opinion on what you liked/disliked in the game and how to make it better (like making a hint menu or maybe easier puzzles) ?

I like the atmosphere and the music, but I am not smart enough to know what to do. I would also have liked the dialog to be voice acted, or may just some text to speech. But else a good game. Well done.

Developer

Hello ! Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it. I originally intended to put some voices but didn't have time to do it and the game kind of ended in a rush. Also, it's my first time making a puzzle game, so I absolutely had no idea if they were easy or not when I created them, feel free to ask if you would like to try again with some hints !
