Hey, awesome game! I think I may have found a small bug. It first happened when I went to restart the game having died, I typed Yes rather than Y and it just kept replying '?' ... I managed to catch it on video as it did it to me during the Let's Play, have a look at the last few minutes. Otherwise, what a great game. :)

- The "focus vision" mechanic was very unique and cool. The descriptions about whispers and footsteps set a terrific creepy atmosphere. The smartlet was tough for me to figure out. I really liked the diary hints - Very well integrated! Great work.
- I enjoyed the atmosphere and could gather a few keys. Having a clear goal may help, but I liked to have things a little indefinite at the beginning. I really enjoyed the effect on "focus vision" the first time I saw it, but it is quite tiresome to have to repeat that on every location at least once. I enjoyed the presence of the computer with the basic interface, maybe it could provide some hints about the history and the goals. On the other hand, the game hung when I tried to open the fridge :-|
- I especially loved the atmosphere here. I imagined myself wandering this dark place and really felt the desire to wake up more and more with every step I took. I did enjoy game this very much. Science Fiction and Horror are uncommon themes for treasure hunts, so kudos for adding them. I loved it.
- The clever use of font and atmospheric sound made this a real standout entry that I just wanted to keep exploring and playing. My handwriting is a but scruffy for such long access codes though!
- Fantastic presentation and atmosphere, and an enjoyable game to play. Puzzles are tricky but not too tricky, and I liked how it left you to discover what was going on for yourself rather than tell you outright. A great game!
