How does your game fit the theme?
There are doors in every room and you have to pick the right one to continue through the game by reading clues.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No. some of the assets were royalty free, which are the icons in the second level. All other programming and art were made by my team

Pros :

- Good idea with simple game play

 -Easy to understand controls

-Good idea for a story  oriented game

-Cute art style (reminds me of binding of Issac)

-(Personally I'm a sucker for that shaddow ray cast effect, looks cool)

Cons:

-Missing polish

-"Could use a bit of garnish", missing some textures like, Main Menu art, The character is just a red capsule, sprites missing transparency, etcetera, (unless it's an art style :P)

-The font in the book (in the second room) is quite hard to read which is an essential part of game play and not being able to read it means you cant progress with further game play 

-Basic Settings, there isn't a volume slider so I'm unable to turn the music or SFX down. If the death noise is supposed to be loud to jump scare the player then some people might want to turn the sound down to just play the game.

Conclusion: 

The direction of what you wanted the game to be is clear and with a little more polish and game testing you would have a real solid game jam game goin'. Perhaps add a few fixes and touch ups after the jam is finished :)  

Don't be displeased if you feel you game is un-finished, a game jam is quite the challenge. Keep it up :D

Mini escaperoom like game, I like it.
Love the suspicious music, it creates a nice armoshpere.

Nice entry!

It's an interesting concept that lacked some polishing, in my opinion. The 2nd room is the best one; I thought it was clever to have you arrange the stones in chronological order. Unfortunately,  I think the other rooms are a bit of a miss. I couldn't figure out the link and had to brute force it. But it's a good base to improve upon. The menu music was a good fit for the game as well.
And congratulations on finishing the game! :)

Cool concept. I thought it was bugged at the end, but i guess any path will lead to getting killed.  also, you can spam E on the second door and will get multiple jump scares!

This was pretty fun! I'm no good at puzzles but I appreciate the complexity.
