I love the atmosphere and was really impressed by the visuals. The difficulty curve is a bit weird, it starts off super hard because you don't know the tell tails and are unsure of what to look for, and as you progress you get more and more hints of how to avoid the wrong door, so if you get past the second od third door you're pretty much good. I also found the sound to be a bit low. That said, once you get the hang of it the game is pretty enjoyable, and the story endgame cut-scene is a pretty nice addition! Very well done!

Thank you for your feedback. That's interesting. I added the field guide on the game's page yesterday and I think that may have overcomplicated the first two rooms.
If I may ask, were you looking for all three signs in the first and second room? In the first room, you only need to worry about the wet patches. I've actually just updated the game description to make that clearer for new players so they don't overthink the start!
Congrats on getting to the end and glad you liked the cutscene! Thank you again for playing.
I wasn’t looking at all three signs. I didnt read the guide and was only reading room pages. The first room I couldn’t tell which walls were wet, I could only see the water on the floor. Second room I couldn’t hear any sound until i put the volume way up. Maybe it would have helped if I used headphones but I was on speakers. After that it was easy to tell the two signs, especially with the torch blowing, maybe thats a good first level mechanic as it’s way easier to tell apart :) Again these are very minor things, the game as a whole is pretty amazing and it’s impressive it was done in such short time period.
