15 puzzle, but with pictures! An interesting interpretation of an old game.
The gameplay was a bit straightforward, with a lot of repeating elements. Adding in some effects that correspond to the room, like some tiles randomly switching places or the screen goes dark, could add some more non-mechanical elements to spice it up.
I did enjoy the ties to the poem, though. It is an interesting concept, and I think it plays well here.
thanks for playing! We wanted to do more but ran out of time learning how to use unity, haha. We plan to keep working after the jam to add more puzzles and other elements!
The Idea for the Story isnt bad, but it would ve been cool if the Puzzle would change over time.
Our hope is definitely to add more elements in the future with more interesting puzzles, we just ran out of time haha XD Thanks for the comment!
I liked the starting cutscene and has some hard levels, had some iddues with the text on full screen but could fix it clicking in the game fullscreen icon, not the itch.io icon.
Thanks for the tip, we were having some issues with the sizing and ran out of time to fix it before the end but we're interested in fixing that for the future as we work towards a more complete game after the jam!
Nice game, impressive for what I believe was a solo project, didn't encounter any bugs, and liked that you had full blown cutscenes. My main criticism is that there is no spin on the style of puzzle game that comes from the theme, it seems to be exactly as expected.
two of us, bur first time making a game for both of us! We spent so much time learning unity we ran out of time to do more puzzles. We plan to keep working after the jam to continue improving it! Thanks for playing!
I like the scandalized gasps when the red death shows up
i was so ready for a boss fight
11/10. I need to re-read the classics.
Cool game, however I was a bit confused as to if I was supposed to be making the outlines of the different places match the sides of the room, or if I was trying to get the people to the doors. There were a few issues where the text was so big that it went off the screen, but overall this is a great submission!
Thanks for the feedback! We were having some issues with that and ran out of time to fix it, but that's one of our hopes as we continue to grow with the game is that we will have more clues as to what you're supposed to be doing and text that actually functions haha XD Thanks for the comment!
