I really dug this game! The atmosphere and story are great. Keep up the great work!

I really enjoyed the whole atmosphere of this. Shocked to see that it came out 9 hours ago too.

That was great. I do have some complaints, not narratively but in terms of gameplay. first of all, I feel like the symbols on the back of pictures should just be replaced with numbers. If they hold actual significance within the narrative then sure keep them in but if they don't just number them off it's easier that way. Also, I literally just guessed until the combination worked. What was I looking for? Originally I was attempting to list off the photo's relevant to the age of the character within them. I thought it was him as a kid, then in high school with friends, then in collage with friends, then married, but that combo didn't work so I just gave up and listed random shit. Additionally I feel like you should add some hints into where to go next or interact with things, audio cues or some visual draw. Especially in the warehouse because it took me three minutes to figure out you can move the rug. Apart from that it was a wonderful game. I always love cryptic storytelling left to interpretation.

The order for the picture puzzle was indicated by the number of people in each photo. Actually thought that was clever when I figured it out.

Holy shit. What a great experience. It took me around 45 minutes to an hour to complete. It really feels like a nightmare after another. I can't believe how much could be done for a game jam.

I think the game suffers a bit from orientation issues and unclear objectives at time but maybe that adds to the nightmare feeling. Had my spine chilling for a LONG time. Very creepy.
