How does your game use the theme?
Tiny Haunting uses the theme by placing players in a bedroom that is a normal size to people and to the ghost, but are massive for the spider which creates giant puzzle environments for the spider to handle.

The ghost, which is of normal size, helps the spider traverse through the area by solving puzzles and clearing obstacles.

The sense of being tiny is created through both scale and interaction since the player can clearly see the difference in scale of the spider and the environment, and interaction because of the usage of the giant (well, to the spider) everyday objects.

Known bugs
In the book puzzle, there's a chance that the books will get stuck on each other while swapping if you spam-click.
In the tutorial part, there's a chance for the game to not detect WASD movement. Please reload the game and click A once the prompt appears if it happens to you!

I had a bit of trouble with the WASD controls since the camera seemed to move on its own depending on my movement, which felt a bit unexpected. Very cute spider and ghost duo!
