Interesting and challenging puzzles. I had to reload since I break the portals XD, with the witch.

Thank you :). If you like the shader, feel free to use it as is or modified in your own games.

I personally like games that are challenging.
I'm an old-school gamer and I played games in the 90s that had far more difficult puzzles than this humble adventure. And without any external help, as you can instantly get these days on YouTube, I've sometimes spent hours stuck at one point, trying to figure out what the hell should I do :). But when I cracked did, that feeling was always super rewarding. That's something I miss very much in most modern games. They often show you exactly what to do and where to go, and that's boring for me.
However, that's my personal point of view and I completely understand and respect that not everyone shares it with me.
Thank you for playing my game and for the feedback.
I think you didn't exactly understand what i meant, i didn't say the puzzles are difficult, i said that they make no sense, and there is no indecation to what does what, for example: clicking on the witch to teleport, or the funky mechanics of the deer statue, there is a difference between a hard puzzle and a puzzle that is hard because it makes no sense, a good example of hard puzzles that are well designed are Jonathan Blow games (Braid & The Witness) they are hard sure. But, they are hard because they are designed that way, not because i didn't know i need to click on something that is not related to what i did before to have an outcome that doesn't make sense.

It's fascinating, how different people can experience the same thing so differently, isn't it? If you check the other comments here, and especially the one at https://marianpekar.itch.io/you-are-dead in the comments section, you'll see what I mean. And it's completely ok, it would be a very boring world if everyone would be the same. Thank you once again for your feedback.
Thank you for playing. The book needs to be placed in the bookshelf on the right, then the Witch will interact.
There's a visual hint, if you compare those two bookshelfs, the colors are different, but the positions and rotations of books are same, except at one empty spot. That's the spot the missing red book needs to be placed in :)

Thank you for playing and feedback.
About the issue. Do you use a display resolution less than 1920x1080? If so, I think it might be it. The WebGL frame size is not dynamic. On 2K resolution, it looks like in the picture below, on Full HD the frame fills the screen entirely, and on smaller resolutions, I see now, that it's unfortunately cropped.
When I think about it, I should've edited the HTML page to add document.getElementById("unity-fullscreen-button").click(); JavaScript code to be executed on load. This might turn the game fullscreen automatically as it should be the equivalent of clicking the blue button in the bottom right corner which does that.

Just find out, thanks to Sesso Kosga comment, it could be also zoomed out with the basic zoom function in the browser. Then you can access the blue "Fullscreen" button, which is cropped out on a smaller screen size.

Thank you for playing and feedback. The trick to get from this room is to notice you can still see the Witch and thus click on her again. She teleports you back and forth.
I playtested the game like hundred times and finished puzzles in all possible orders to ensure players can't get the game to an unfinishable state. I really thought it through and that was actually the most work done on the game. Implementation was then rather easy because Unity is a great engine that does for us a lot :)

Thank you for playing. I was thinking about the world as about a thin layer between our world and the world of the dead. The place where you're technically dead, but you can still get back. Here, by solving all the puzzles to get to the end :)
Thank you. As I said to a colleague earlier today, when we were talking about jam games: here, in the office, it's all about teamwork and listening to feedback, at home, if you'd like to maintain a long-term relationship, it's all about compromises, but the jam game is yours and yours only, you own it, you do it entirely as you like, and that's the beauty of it :-).
