This is sooo good ! The atmosphere in this game was terrifying, the only reason I still managed to play it was "the developers wouldn't add a monster, they wouldn't do that to me" LOL I was horrified the entire game but I was brave and beat it on my own :')
I had to restart the game first because the crank didn't connect to the gear at first? It just landed on the floor and I couldn't pick it back up. Then when I finally understood what was happening I "randomly" died because I didn't understand the lose condition (or I didn't see the monster oops). It was slightly difficult to understand what I was supposed to be doing at first but I quickly got over it. The stairs were confusing too, they looked like I could use them but I assume it's just part of the set design.
Would love a longer game, you really achieved a very uneasy feeling in a really cool setting. Congrats !
