This is brilliant! I like the environmental storytelling and the camera mechanic is done in a new and exciting way. My only gripe is that triggering the ghost is an instant game over, as there doesn't appear to be any way to avoid it. The only way I could get the neutral or bad endings were to know it was there in advance and just set everything up before triggering it.

I've tried to get the good ending, but I can't figure out what to do with the bear, and picking it up is 100% lethal so there's not much room to explore or experiment once you grab it.

Thank you for playing! The ghost isn't an instant game over. You can banish the ghost when she's chasing you. Did you translate the runes? You don't need to but they give you a hint as to what you're supposed to do. You can also, if you're quick on your feet, even finish the last puzzles when she's chasing you but I don't expect anyone to even try that, it's more of a fun fact.

Thank you again for playing, I'm so happy you liked it and I'll keep your feedback and experience in mind for future patches, it was very valuable!

I've tried over a dozen times to get the good ending, and I cannot figure out what to do with the bear and how to deal with the deadly ghost. I translated the runes and spun the globe, but "Bear...Child..." and "She took my teddy" aren't helping me. I guess I am just missing something, but I've tried placing the bear in pretty much every location in the house (oven, shower, crib, rune table, fridge, cage, couch, TV, washing machine) - nothing. And having to figure this out with a ghost that kills you in three seconds is incredibly frustrating because there's no margin for error and no time to experiment.

Any hints on getting the good ending without completely spoiling it?

Sure thing, I'll give you two. One is cryptic and one isn't. Pick which one you want to read.

Cryptic: red smoke rises.

Not cryptic: ~~the runes.~~

I swear I thought I had tried that, but I guess I wasn't doing it right. But thanks for the hint! I was able to get the final ending, I appreciate the help and listening to my compla-- er, I mean feedback. :)
