This game is incredible, the ambience and graphics are fantastic. Story line is riveting. On the whole, I was able to find my way through the game with minimal confusion. The only thing I did not like was having to put the camera down and pick it back up again. I feel like it should be stowed in the inventory. A quick tutorial of controls might be beneficial but it wasn't that big of an issue without it. This game has made it to my list and I will be playing this again in the future!

Thanks for playing and for the nice compliments :)
There are a few changes to the camera in the main game. The idea is that placing the camera down gives you a curated view of what you need to be looking at - but I can see if I can make it more intuitive!
As for controls, there should be tutorials that pop up at certain times (starting the game, picking up the camera for the first time, hovering over an item for the first time and opening inventory) - they are also available in the options menu. Potentially though you had a bugged build that didn't show these tutorials - woops!
The bug explains it! Your game seemed super polished and well thought out so it makes sense that you had tutorials.
Also, I did think it was interesting that the view of the character remained at the camera (when it was on a table, etc). Which I imagine has some explanation later.
Overall, the game is fantastic. Keep up the excellent work!
