A really interesting and novel mechanic- I've not seen this done before! Sometimes couldn't see some of the dialogue though. Great art style and sound design and would really be interested in playing a longer version with some interesting puzzles that use this amazing mechanic. Great job!

Cool mechanic! Loved how you could see 'through' the window. Had some issues with the dialogue though but not sure if that's because I'm on a weird aspect ratio (21:9). Seemed they were cut off by the top of the window!
I loved the concept of moving the window around, though I often found windows wanted to snap it to the top, and also the words would be out of frame and I would miss some of the text. But was really cool game.
This was a really cool mechanic to play around with, very unexpected but also very satisfying! I'd love to see more of this.
Really nifty mechanic that absolutely took me by surprise the first time I played - I almost don't want to spoil it for other people, but I'd love to see it expanded on with more puzzles!
This is excellent. I'm guessing the window closing and re-opening at the start is to take a screenshot? if so maybe you could be craftier by taking multiple screenshots as you get the player to move the window around and then sticking them together? That was a bit weird when it happened (before I figured out why)
I'd love to see you take the idea further
This was a really interesting mechanic: I think there are a ton of ways that interesting puzzles could be themed around this and manipulation of the game window. You should totally keep going with finishing more of the game :) I seemed to have some resolution troubles so couldn't scroll down when at a lower level so not sure if I missed anything down there, but I'd be keen to find out what The Oracle actually is!
