First off, the soundtrack BOPS. I'm completely floored by it. It's fantastic!
This game is fun and short. I enjoyed exploring the house, and the clear text directions made it easy (usually) to find out what to do next.
When the Mom said that to go to the basement, my first instinct was to go back down from where I came (basements are lower, yeah?), but easily corrected my mistake and found the proper door in the further room. The quick movements of Charlie helped a lot with this!
Sometimes when Charlie was going through a long passage it was difficult to detect movement (i.e. my eyes saw no movement even though my brain registered that we were still moving). I also wish the doors in the hallway (from the start room to the room with the parents) opened or something, just for more explorability, but I totally get that on the time crunch of a jam you don't have time to do it!
I am a little confused by the ending, did Charlie die? But overall very nice execution of a fun game with really smooth controls — and in such a short time! I played twice to see if I missed anything, please let me know if I did. Overall great job with this piece!
