I just played it again and thanks a lot for that tip. I was able to exit the first room. In the second room, I wasn’t able to figure out the solution to the puzzle. I heard the full puzzle about who’s afraid of whom, and it was exciting to have a riddle, but I just couldn’t figure out what I had to do.

Edit: Also, the way I used the controller joystick was in many different ways. I moved it in counter-clockwise and clockwise way and well as in other directions. I thought, like a radio tuning, I was looking for the frequency that would give the right tip. I was looking for the working frequency, so I moved the joystick slowly to try to find that frequency. Even with your tip, I tried rotating the joystick like you said, but the first times I did it in a sort of slow way, not super fast, so I still didn’t understand I had to move it fast at first. But then I did try that and it worked.

Thanks for giving it another go! Definitely a design problem that it's not clear enough what affect certain interactions are having that I would need to work on.

I will share that from the second room on there are multiple stations to tune to which provide parts of the whole clue needed to solve the puzzle. Originally I had these set at different positions, so you would rotate around and hear multiple broadcasts and have to piece them together, but some early feedback from a friend suggested that was confusing, and they suggested separate "bands" which you toggle between with the dpad. The trouble there is that it's easy to completely miss this mechanic, as was the case for you. Different kinds of static on each band, or a voice over to label the bands would probably solve that issue.

Anyways, I really appreciate you taking the time to experiment with it and provide detailed feedback.
