Awesome cutscenes! The downside is that it is a bit underwhelming when a game with such cool voiceover has no in game sounds at all :)
I am not sure how i escaped since i found the key in the first few seconds but it didn't work on the gate. Then i tried to open the chest using time on the other tower (although it was like 09:7.5, so not sure what it meant) - it didn't do anything either. I started jumping around and after not finding anything tried the gates again standing on a shelf and it worked. Anyways, I had fun and that's all that matters
