Wow, that's amazing that this is all from scratch! That alone is impressive given the time constraints. The look of this was really polished and the music fit perfectly to build the ambience. I liked the puzzles and map layout too. Really impressive entry, well done!

Nice work, good concept, simple controls and atmospheric music)

Definitely felt like some of the riddles were misleading or the answers were out of left field, and I ended up getting permanently stuck in the 4th big room (somehow managed to move behind a box and then just couldn't get out. I like the idea of this game, just needs some refining, making it more clear what you can and can't interact with, that sort of thing.

I got stuck in the first room for a while, and somehow I opened the gate just by wandering around mashing E looking for something to interact with. The demon's narration could be some pretty brutal metal lyrics.

Good graphics

Some of the art, like the house and the devil, seem like they're AI generated, and they don't look great. I think you could have done much better by making them look like the rest of the game.

This is a very unique and interesting puzzle game. I like the beginning part and its story telling especially the art.

The gameplay part was a bit confusing. I didn't know what to do basically all the time and I think I got through the first puzzle without even knowing it. And I saw some kind of a shadow glitch when I exit a light source. I guess you can look into it. 

Overall it's a nicely made game

Very neat puzzle game; I liked the Lost Woods-esque maze you have set up, remembering the turns and moving through the corridors. I got stuck on finding the tome mentioned in the letter; I couldn't find one anywhere, but the rest of the letter seemed to make sense to me. Art looks pretty solid and I like the ambient music; solid job on this entry!

the sound and graphic atmosphere are incredible, however I don't really understand what to do... I know it has something to do with my shadow but... nothing happens..

the art and atmosphere was super cool! and i liked the storytelling. I couldnt find anything to interact with other than the letter and was stumped but otherwise the game was really interesting and fun to play!

Hi thank you for the nice reply, the game indeed is a little hard to understand at first. You really have to read the letters and try to understand what they are telling you. The information insde of the letters are key to understanding on how to solve the puzzles.

I like the art, didnt really understood it tho, so im not gonna judge anything.

Hey, thank you for giving our game a try. The riddles are a bit challenging, mainly because there are limited interactive elements. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to incorporate additional content. If you're interested in attempting to solve the puzzles, it's important to grasp the essence of the letter and carefully extract the information it provides.
