This was fun. The story was really funny, but I really liked the group dynamics. The characters were all pretty interesting and the dialogues/convos between them were really fun to read.
Some of the puzzles were really hard, honestly I only got to the end using the walkthrough you put up but I enjoyed trying to figure them out. They were really clever! :)
Overall it was a pretty good game! Good luck with the contest! ^^

Theme
Saw-like escape game with characters that should be in theory OP but can still die is a great twist. It's my type of jam.
Gameplay
Some puzzles and trying to get through the first half with long dialogue before trying again is a test of patience. The rest of the puzzles weren't as bad but the fight against the receptionist ghoujl was frustrating because it wasn’t that clear. I pressed Fight <1 second before the timer runs out and then I DIE? The only way to survive this scenario is holding Cancel every time and ignoring the dialogue! I'm not sure if that's even intentional.
Presentation
It's very solid graphically. However I have an issue with its presentation in regards to choices, especially the last fight. The writing is pretty funny between the characters and their dynamic is great. I also like how the undead character can always be an option and presents a moral dilemma. The group dynamic is pretty good.
Engagement
I did not enjoy playing this game after repetitive cutscenes for failing the first trial many times until I understand what the game wants me to do. There is a part where I don't understand just how close the main character is to their group of friends or what they exactly feel about her, especially in regards to two different endings.
Total – 55/80
