Very deep systems for a two week jam, impressive!

Starting off with the letter almost seems a little unnecessary when your characters already have so much information to tell, almost felt like it could have been omitted entirely. Really liked the investigative journal mechanics, would have liked to see the 'time' mechanic of it all perhaps used a bit more. It's the first thing we learn but didn't seem to really come up again.

Unfortunately even with the walkthrough I was too stupid to complete the cryptic puzzle, something about the last part of it I could not get right and I got too frustrated. So I had 8/10 witnesses and struggled wayyy too hard on the puzzle till I gave up.

Tiny lil bug: Some of the rooms on the lower deck say 'My pocket watch' at the exits.

Thank you so much for playing and the feedback. It's very helpful!

The time does get used but it's only after you're done with the witness testimonies unfortunately.

I'm sorry about the cryptic puzzle and the frustration it caused. I would really appreciate it if you told me where you got stuck. It would help me improve it in a future version. Maybe I should have added better hints in the game. I know there are a lot of games to play in this jam but in case you're still interested in continuing, I've added images of the solution to the cryptic puzzle to make it easier.

Ah OK thank you that will make it easier! It was the final little sequence of it, the fifth one.  I just couldn't seem to get the shapes in the right place, but that was following the text guide. It also took me a little too long to realize the circle/arrow thing at the top right took you to the next page of the puzzle as well. My brain has lost the ability to do new puzzles over the years lol
