Judge feedback

  • Sadly I can't put as much time into this game as I want, I plan to come back to it after judging completes. Incredibly compelling, plays beautifully, if a "simple" point and click. I love the mystery and setting and can't wait to solve it all. One note, having a 'highlight' occur for scene/location transitions (at least known ones!) would be great. Tiny nitpick and I can even understand why you would choose not to go that route, but it would feel better not randomly moving when I'm 1/3 the screen away from an arrow. Again, tiny nitpick. Very well done!

A challenging but very interesting and fun game! Loved all the puzzles but I have to admit I spent the most time on the light switches puzzle. Congrats for the game :))

Thank you for playing. That is for sure the hardest puzzle in the game.

Fun game! I really loved the alphabet puzzle and the light switches puzzle was very tough (for me personally). Keep it up!!

thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked it. I must admit that the alphabet puzzle was my favorite to create, so it's nice to hear that people are enjoying it.

I really liked the game! The puzzles were super challenging yet rewarding to solve. The blast of light at the end was a little to much for me. Hope you continue developing as I would like to keep playing

The table with the light points posed the most challenging aspect. Great creativity, congrats!!!!

I really enjoyed playing this game! The puzzles are challenging to figure out, and it kept my attention throughout. I even think having a hints section could make it easier to play. Congratulations!

I'm glad you liked it. Hints will definitely be coming later on.

Fantastic entry! Went for the same sort of idea as us but executed it way better, I got as far as the switch puzzle but those types of puzzles drive me absolutely insane so I don't think I'll be seeing much past it unfortunately
