Really liked this concept, nice and simple to understand, almost gives me a Nintendo mini game vibe. The progress bar is a nice touch as well, helps you to know if one of the fingers are slightly off. Awesome!

- I don't think bones break when you move wrists. Regardless, the first time I heard the bone breaking sound, it got to me. It pulled me in. It made me say, "Why isn't this working in Chrome?" I did get the game to work in Fire Fox though, so I can happily say I played the game :) I found the exact placement of the hands to be a bit tedious. There should be an indicator of where to set the wrist, because I swore I was all the way in the lines. Keep making creepy games like this. We need more.

The player is having a bit of fun doing shadow shapes with hands according to a book that they found but little do they know that they've just begun an irreversible ritual, which unfortunately due to lack of time is quite short.
Mechanics are mouse driven, I wrote some instructions on the game page, but basically you use mouse wheel when the cursor is on top of the yellow circles to rotate hands and joints and you can move the hands by dragging from the yellow circle near the wrist area.
