Quiz, I tried really hard to save this one for last but my curiosity got the better of me. This was really, really good. I honestly felt spooked the entire time I played it, even knowing there likely wasn't any actual danger as I bumbled through the game. The ambient noises were perfect. The only problem I had were with some of the puzzle clues; I wanted to try the game without the manual but ended up needing it for one very specific item I couldn't figure out how to use. Ended up that one item isn't able to be picked up until I actually read the associated clue, which was what threw me off. But other than that, I had a smooth time. Very well done! I'd be surprised if this wasn't a top contender.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game for the most part. The compliments mean a lot, and we'll see! I still need to play a lot of the other games, yours included!
Sounds like I need to make some of my hints better. I'm glad the manual was able to help point you on the right path. I think I know which specific item you're talking about, or at least two of them that might be it. I'll have to make a note to fix that once the jam is over.
