That was cool! The atmosphere is creepy and ruinous. The art is superb. The inventory was a tad awkward, but usable. Great work!

Definitely didn't brute force my way through the puzzle with the 5 switches 😅

Really well executed atmosphere!

Would've been nice if the inventory menu closed automatically when selecting an item. Exploring the place felt great.  Really nice experience, congrats!

This is exactly the type of slow paced atmospheric game that I really enjoy. I had a good time playing it. Good job.

Really enjoyed it.  Not sure I got to the end though.  LOL  I got stuck a few times as I wasn't sure in some cases what to do but I got to an room that said something about the end so maybe I got there.

Loved the vibe of the game.  I did feel like something was in the shadows for sure.  Eerie.  :)

Yup you got to the end, congrats! We definitely wanted to flesh out the ending a bit more but time was of the essence :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

You got to an end more than I did.  I finally figured out an issue I had with my game and realized I didn't even have an end game so I quickly added one.  My daughter got a kick out of it.  LOL

Also loved the Aliens vibe.  Great job with a limited pixel and color count.  I felt it.
