There was some pressure with tough puzzles and strange environment. Voice acting added a lot for the game. To be honest, this is one great single player game.

The last puzzle was kind of challenging and thew me in the loop there!
Modelling and environment are really nicely done, it definitely feels like there was a lot of work and thought put into it. And I like how it's stylized - this renders the game a very coherent look. Very good job with all the smoke and screen effects - there's a lot of attention to detail.
The chasing monster was actually terrifying.
Also, liked the small easter egg with megalovaina on 666 :)

OOooo, very charming and eerie game y'all got. Very good encapsulation of the horrors of meat factories. Was a fairly smooth experience getting through the game!

Will say, for some reason, the freezer bit did not make sense to me when I went in. Took me a fair minute, and a very frosted vignette, to understand how to complete that puzzle. Also, the last section was a bit confusing to figure out. I noticed and enemy too but they didn't really seem to bother me that much when messing with the switches. Just hung out in the corner with their large homie. 

Regardless, was still able to beat it tho! Good lil' horror game y'all got. Would be interesting to see what it would look like if y'all continue this.

The Game has really exiting for me. I like an ambient, graphic, and sounds that pressure in me. Great job!

This game really gave me Portal vibes in terms of the narration and the build up towards the twist, I thought it was a very creative take on the theme and very well executed. I found the last part a bit confusing since it was difficult to tell what the switches and buttons were affecting, but with some experimentation (and trial and error) I figured it out and got to the ending. Based on how well this turned out I would be very interested in seeing what a longer story puzzler from you would be like! Great job!

A game that really manages to convey that eerie atmosphere, with sound design and graphics that evoke a sense of tension and mystery. The concept of “nothing can go wrong… as long as you follow the instructions” is very well integrated into the narrative, which adds a touch of irony and makes for some interesting suspenseful moments.

The Silent Hill-like atmosphere is perfectly achieved and the claustrophobic feeling in the scenarios really makes you feel trapped in a world that you don’t know if it’s about to devour you. The puzzles are challenging, but the rewarding feeling of solving them is rewarding. Although the last stage was a bit difficult to figure out, the satisfaction of completing the game made it worth it.

The only suggestion would be to maybe add slightly clearer hints, as at some points I felt a bit lost, but the fact that you can discover the solution by playing and experimenting gives it a very interesting exploration feel.

Great job, it’s a game that leaves you with goosebumps!

Fun game! I really liked the first few puzzles. I wasn't 100% sure what I was meant to be doing in the final level but I still completed it. I like the voice over and the atmosphere you managed to create. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words! I agree, the final puzzle's objective could have been more clear. :)

Very nice game! Well done! It was a bit confusing as a few things aren't made super clear but you can mostly figure it out by just playing around a lot xD
