I'll be honest, I didn't beat the piano puzzle, even after help I couldn't process what pieces to do in order. But I do love the atmosphere and the hints are good, it's just that there isn't any clear way to tell what you're missing.
(I am also biased towards this because my original plan has a bit of this vibe before I realised I overscoped and started over)
The puzzle isn't that difficult, you just need some observation. There is actually only one puzzle that you need to solve and it's the diary. Just do all the task what diary says and that's it. I agree about the piano thing as it's pretty hard to memorise the tune. So i can help you with the tune, mark 1-9 all white keys from left to right, the currect tune is 3276. You can try again if you want. Anyway thankyou for playing. :)
This game is 10/10, has to be a winner, loved it all, i jump a little bit when i got the answer and the door open of how good the ambientation was, really well done!!!!!!
Hey, so glad to hear that you solved the puzzle. Most people finding the puzzle hard but you are genius. Thankyou for playing, i really appreciate it. :)
Only part i found hard was which keys to press on the piano, because im really bad with tones^^’
Yeah i understand, it's pretty hard to remember tones.
Cool game with a unique atmosphere. Took me a while to get my head round the puzzle, but a good game nonetheless. Good job :)
Thankyou for playing! Hope you enjoyed it. :)
Very cool game, I love how much atmosphere you managed to create and the hand drawn art style is really nice. Good submission!
Thankyou! Glad you liked it. :)
The puzzle looks difficult but it's quite simple all you need is some observation. For puzzle all you need to do is do all the tasks mentioned in the diary, that's it. Once its done you will get the feedback, if you do not get the feedback it means you didnt completed the task correctly. You can try again if you want. Thankyou for playing! :)
You scared me right out of the gate with the name choices, as my name is Sami haha. But seriously, this is very well put together, great work on all fronts!
Haha, you just sent your brother in a haunted house. ; p. Glad to hear that you liked it. Thankyou for playing!! :)

I love the atmosphere that you achieved
Thankyou! Glad you liked it. :)
Amazing vibes, The environment is great, and I felt like a detective when I realized the medical report date is before the birthday one, Great job !🙌
Glad to hear that you felt the game's vibe. Thankyou for playing!!
Nice job! and an impressive amount of content given the time constraints.
Thankyou for playing! :)
This reminds me of scratch horror games and I love it
Thankyou! Hope you enjoyed it. :)
This is a very original horror game, well done. (rate mine, please)
Hey, thanks for checking out our game! I really liked your game! I did find the puzzle to be a little difficult to solve though. I think the main issue I ran into was the piano part. I didn't realize that you can't press on the black keys, so I was confused for a while which notes were making what noises. The other issue I ran into was that sometimes the keys didn't work on the Piano, so that was another frustrating thing. Once I figured out the proper keys though, which were all white notes for anyone wondering, I was able to solve it! I really liked the storytelling of the game though along with the eerie lore and soundtrack. I also really enjoyed the art style!
Yes i agree, there are some problem with colliders of piano keys but i will it in next update. Hope you ejoyed it. Thankyou for playing. :)
Yeah, the game has so much potential with that lore!
Thankyou so much! Glad to hear that. I will surely continue work on this after jam. :)
Love the vibes and storytelling, Good Job!
That was great. Loved the atmosphere. Would be nice if there was more to discover ;)
couldn't really get past the first room, I thought I had to find sheet music to play the melody, or compare the times in the diary to the clock on the wall but that didn't seem to help. it did definitely give of a spooky vibe after reading the document sand comparing the dates, made me wonder why (what i can only assume to be the mother) was writing letters and getting gifts for her dead child a weak after their death.
Yes the puzzle in the room is a bit tricky and need some observation to understand. Let me help you with the puzzle. The puzzle part is actually that diary, other notes are just for lore. Now you can try to solve the puzzle. Let me know if you do. Thankyou for playing. :)
Nice job! Like others, I had a little trouble with the piano puzzle. But overall it's solid - The times in the diary being oddly specific was enough to make them stand out and help guide me to that aspect of the puzzles.
The game looks great, but Im not really sure what to do at the first puzzle... I know that the clock is changing and diary is telling me what to do, but there doesnt seem to be any input when I get part of the puzzle right or wrong, so I go to the morning -> play the music (pretty sure it goes ABCA with 3 left keys on the piano, but im not sure) -> go to the aftermoon -> erase the dog and play the music (Im not sure what to do with the crayon, I tried to paint something, but it didnt let me, maybe I missclicked or am doing something wrong) -> go to the evening -> erase the flower -> play the piano -> shut the lamp off
In general I will gladly return to the game if you help me out a little, because Iam not even sure if Iam doing it correctly, but the game looks great anyway. :)
Yes you got everything right. You need to collect crayon to be able to draw on paper. Then do all the 3 task. If you do it correct then a gate will open. If you did all the tasks but nothing happened then might be possible you playing the tune wrong on piano or doing the task at the wrong time. So just let me tell you the correct tune, if you mark all the white keys from left to right like 1-9 then correct tune is 3276. Now try again and let me know.
Ok, after your help it was better. I didnt relized that drawing is done just by pressing button, because I collected the crayon before looking at the paper. Puzzle truly felt like some kind of escape room and it was fun. Good game. :)
Nice game! I had some trouble after the piano puzzle but it was really fun (and kinda scary). Good job!
Nice game, couldn’t get far as i got stuck at the piano as im pretty tone deaf, but i liked the concept, and it fits well with the looping theme. Well done!
Okay so if you are having a problem with the piano part then let me tell you the correct tune, if you mark all the white keys from left to right like 1-9 then correct tune is 3276. You can try again now if you want. Thankyou for playing my game!! :)
