Hi! Thank you so much for the compliments and critiques! I deeply appreciate it! To answer about the music, Hayden Gaxiola composed the track that plays in the true ending and the rest was provided by default from RPG Maker MV.
I'll go ahead and admit for the sake of transparency I did intentionally drown out the voice line to make it spookier and mysterious, but on purpose doesn't always mean good, so maybe I'll patch that in the future. (Also music and sound effects are set to 90% volume and I usually just leave it at that) I could also explain some of my thought process with the puzzles, but I don't want to risk coming off as defensive so instead I'll just say that I had a bit of trouble during development knowing what would be difficult or not, so I'm grateful for the feedback. That'll help me a lot for future projects.
I'll definitely be checking out yours and others submissions! It just may take a bit since I'm a little flustered from the holidays. Want to have a clear mind for rating!
