The cover art looks so good! The thumbnail didn’t do it justice, I scrolled past it a few times before I saw another commenter’s screenshot of it then I wanted to check it out lol. The main character is super cute! I like the atmosphere of the game, definitely has spooky vibes. I went around the house a few times but I couldn’t figure out what to do. I found the painting, cord, sharp thing and spiral. Not sure what interaction I missed. The concept is cool and I like the roller skating ghost hehe. Overall good job!

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I think I'll go upload some screenshots now after this!
Ah yeah so I think:
SPOILER ALERT
After you get the beach shell/spiral, there is a bathroom with a bathtub which will give you a key. This key will unlock one of the rooms near the start and you can hop into a new level.
If you have free time, I would love if you could try it out again and you can experience a couple more levels that you might've missed! If not, that's totally okay but thank you so much for playing our game!! :D
I came back to play it again! I found a bunch more rooms in the back after turning my screen up to max brightness and hugging every wall. I had no idea that the lifeguard area had any interactions, I didn’t see it in my first run lol. I think some hint of interaction areas would show the player where to go better, and an inventory would be nice as well. Allowing the popup text to be closed or skipped faster would be nice too.

Graphics bugged out funny here lol:Also btw on spoiler in itch: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28615544/how-can-i-create-spoiler-text
Overall the concept for the game is very cool!
Thank you so so much for coming back and trying it out!! And thank you again for another batch of feedback! Inventory and hints sound like a great idea!
Yeah so the browser version lighting is really bugged out and we weren't really sure why. You don't have to give it another try but the windows version does have better lighting if you wanted to check it out for what it's meant to look like hahaha
As for the popup text, there was also another bug where if someone has a monitor above 60hz, it'll break the interaction and you get stuck in a loop even though you didn't press interact that many times
(I also couldn't figure out the spoiler thing, didn't know how to embed it into my previous comments haha)

Hope this helps!
