Very nice atmosphere. The art was charming and the sound was excellent. I loved all the puzzles. The last one was weird, I thought I'd hit the right order, but maybe I was wrong. I did just do it by trail and error.

Overall, super great beginning of a game. I'd play way more puzzles than that, and the final reveal was fun. Nice story.

Cheers,

Spookie. I know we all wish we had more time to add things, but here are my notes while playing:

  • The rewarding factor of the game felt missing
  • The third "puzzle" I did not understand and just had to step on all the tiles one by one until getting the combination. It was annoying. I tried matching the symbols but it looks like that was not the case. Thinking back, maybe they were numbered?
  • Not sure if I won or not, but some creature ended me and the credit screen came up.

Nice work folks
