This game is soooooo much fun. I mean, a game in a spooky mysterious lighthouse was always going to grab me, but yeah, this is really good. Lovely art and puzzles. Thanks for the game!

It’s very atmospheric and creepy. I wish I could figure out what to do :( I’m not very good at escape games and probably missed something.

Ante AnimaReally good polished and clean scape room game! Great job! I got stuck on the 4 digit code. Love the atmosphere.

Enchanted ValleyGive me the mood! There's plenty. A bit of Scratches and some Rusty Lake here with a very polished-cool minimalistic design. Maybe it's getting too puzzly too fast with not much of a narrative going; but there's a mystery there, and you have to get deep to uncover. Very stylish game with great atmosphere, and there are smooth triangle waves to meditate on.

HorseMareThe atmosphere is fantastic, accompanied by delightful music, and the puzzles provide a truly enjoyable experience!

NIGHT SHIFTI really loved the atmosphere and the way music underlines your actions. I also like seeing you experiment with different kinds of gameplay, with respect to your last jam games

No Rest for the WickedGreat atmosphere and music. It reminded me of Rusty Lake. I know I'm not the first one to say that. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish the game even with a walkthrough. I have a rusty thing missing from the generator somewhere. Perhaps there is such a bug that when the inventory is full, things can disappear (?). Anyway, it was interesting to play.

1608I don't think I would've been able to make it through without the walkthrough. I do wish there was more story to the game, since by the end of it, you're wondering what happened, but then you just leave instead of finding out. Other than that, it was really well made, and I couldn't find any issues with it.

Tomato Potato RevolutionLoved your game, the atmosphere of it is just perfect. The music and sound design choices are so good that perfectly fit the scene, I especially love the menu sound that plays when choosing between begin and leave There are some really good puzzle elements in this, overall a really solid game.

Text Based Adventure GameIt was pretty darn tough, but really satisfying to figure it all out. And then after that I saw you'd included a walkthrough 😅

a Royal Midnight SnackIt seems a rusty lake game, i'm guessing that your next game will be on mobile?
Anyway i liked a lot, good challenging puzzle and a good atmosphere

The queer night of MiroThanks for playing and thanks for the great comparison with Rusty Lake.
As for my next game it will be First Christmas a prequel come sequel to Last Christmas, wishlist it here https://store.steampowered.com/app/2369460/First_Christmas
This is an amazing game. The graphics, sound design and especially the puzzles are all excellent. There is not a single thing to dislike. Well ... I could have done with a little less grunting and stair climbing. But considering that's down to my puzzle skills (or more accurately, lack of them), I can hardly blame the game, can I now? :)
Personally, I wasn't so much reminded of Rusty Lake as of Mateusz Skutnik's submachine series. Which is most certainly not a bad thing. The slightly unsettling vibes are somewhat reminiscent of the former though.
Puzzle difficulty was spot on for me. I didn't really get stuck, but I had to keep thinking the whole time. I do like escape games and solving problems felt very rewarding. Easily one of my favourite entries this jam.

Under the SeaFor a game jam game this is very polished and well made! I enjoyed the puzzles and the game is really fun to play. Great work!

ParanlusionaryThere are a lot of puzzles, and all of them are not too easy or not hard, I really enjoyed that. Except for the box code, for which I needed to look at the walkthrough because I was completely lost :)
Also, I really like the art and the general atmosphere of your game, the music fits well.
Overall, I spent a great time playing it, well done!
