Pretty interesting game, I can see the Silent Hill influences.
I didn't complete it though, I got stuck at the password panel thing in which I'm pretty sure I got the code correct, which was either 6 2 9 5 7 1 4 or 6 2 9 5 7 4 1, might be completely off but it was based on the ROY G BIV emplacement right??? Couldn't for the life for me figure out what I was supposed to do after that. Was there somethin' I had to do after that or did I just get the code completely wrong??? Also tried almost every combination too... Did you HAVE to interact with the numbers on the sheds for them to count?
The only "bugs" I found was that exiting the second house (the one where you can exit from the back door with the bed and save mirror) from the front door sends the character back through the first door of the first house... not sure if that's by design for this dream-like world. The other "bug" was when standing in front of the code door when it hits midnight does not Game Over but instead automatically interacts with the door, again, not sure if its intentional but I did get a Game Over by just walking two steps away when it turned midnight in the same area...
Overall, you did a pretty great job, also really enjoyed the wordy writing, I felt like it may have been too much at first but it definitely worked for what this game was goin' for.
Again, GREAT JOB!

Thanks for playing, I appreciate it!
You've uncovered some interesting bugs there - have to admit I didn't see any of these myself.
As for the puzzle, it looks like you have got that worked out spot on, so I'll for sure have to look into what's causing the issue.
The second one I can guess is probably a simple mistaken transfer event on my part, easy to fix.
The third one seems even more odd. The only way the player can Game Over is by running out of Vitality either by not consuming items or being attacked after 9pm. Time itself is never a threat in and of itself so I will for sure have to investigate.
I apologize for marring the experience with these pesky bugs and oversights, I'll for sure check these out. FYI the code on the door SHOULD end the demo of the game, so you were right there anyway - good job!
