I love this game! The usage of stock photos for everything is done super well, the animation work with the stock photos is very impressive, and the faked first-person navigation (with W and S keys) and faked Field of View (slightly distorting the image around the sides of the screen) are extremely creative!

That said, I had a really big issue with the first scene in the warehouse. The flashlight was hard for me to find, but the note was impossible. I literally spent like 5 minutes straight stuck on that one part, trying everything I could think of and even attempting to brute-force it by moving my mouse over every inch of the screen, yet I couldn't find anything. I eventually looked up ManlyBadassHero's playthrough for the solution, and judging by the fact that he had to put a jumpcut in his video, it probably took him a long time to find it too. The note is super small and blends in well enough that it doesn't seem like something that I could actually click on, and it's so low-resolution that it just looks like a couple of pixels, so there's no way to tell that it's actually supposed to be a note. Next time, I recommend that you use a sticky note or a piece of paper with tape, and have it stuck to the side of something and facing the player, instead of just lying on top of a shelf. That way, it's much more obvious to the player, and looks more like a note was meant for the character to read.

This game was absolutely worth it though! It's such a cool concept, and aside from the note, it was executed very nicely. I look forward to playing your other games, as you definitely have a lot of talent and creativity. Well done!

Hey there!

Thank you for all the compliments, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

About the note: wait, the note is literally a piece of paper with  a piece of    tape, facing the player before you click on it.
I just played it myself to double check and    the paper is taped face forward, visible.
Are you sure you weren't just ... dreaming?  Maybe try again and you'll see...
