Hey, thanks for the feedback!
I have to admit, the amount of people that are getting through the exit by bruteforcing the lock is concerning, haha. I don't blame any player for taking that option but we really oughta have thought of a way to counteract that...!
Regarding the letters on the fridge, without giving away the solution, that clue pertains to an entirely different puzzle, not the portraits! But I understand how you could have gotten confused. And the abundance of red herrings (i.e. fake clues) was not intentional, but it's a bit unfortunate!
We're glad you had a good time all things considered. And thank you for the video!
