I love a good escape room puzzle, especially in a Lovecraft inspired setting. This was an enjoyable experience and I hope I get a chance to try the ritual part of the game you have planned. I’m looking forward to seeing more of what you create in the future.

- A very promsing puzzle game. I was not able to get past the first puzzle in the time I had to judge but it seems the puzzle has a good level of nuance. The game was overall a bit buggy and tabbing out made you be no longer able to control the camera without restarting the game. The game seems to have met its stylistic goals well too. I would have preferred if the clues had larger text and were split up or altered to not be walls of text so much. The game design document is well formatted and I can see that your team has used project management tools effectively. Well done!
- Good game here with. Might be worth it giving the player a little direction as soon as they start playing the game. Might be frustrating if they're picking everything up and no dialog helps the player along -- especially for tech demos. You have some talent here. Your GDD is amazing. Great job!
