This is so clever and funny, it took me a minute to figure out what kind of things I was looking for but once I started seeing them I was on a roll. Great game, very creative

That was fun, I was looking for a good puzzle/escape style game and this was such a neat twist on it. I had some graphical weirdness going on where the wall textures were just black a lot, but that could have been my settings. 

A little tip in case anyone doesn't realize, like I didn't at first: you can sprint while falling to zoom in the direction you want to go

took me all day but i got them all! its way passed my bed time but i was so close i knew i wasnt gonna be able to sleep if i didnt finish, lol. Very fun and addictive, loved the cute drawings. It was so satisfying finding the paths to the words, but when id accidentally stumble across one?? i felt like a genius lmao. lots of fun thanks for a fun game!

really cool game! a few of the puzzles took some serious brain power but i got through eventually lol. The controls were nice, the visuals were nice, the puzzles were challenging but not impossible

Very short but very cool! Really good use of visual story telling, its pretty clear whats going on by the end

So cute and fun! Very simple but engaging, and yes very relaxing. Even the sound design of the levers clicking was satisfying. I just wish it was longer lol

Really neat game! Had a few mild issues, like getting caught on corners a lot and seeing through walls when walking into them but nothing too game impacting. I really like the concept of using environmental clues to solve puzzles rather than collecting items. And its especially impressive that it was made in only 48 hours, thats wild!

very nice! exactly what i was looking for! I had a hell of a time getting it to run but when i did i enjoyed it a lot. Pretty short overall but perfectly atmospheric and liminal walking sim with a bit of key hunting to keep me engaged, and without all the unnecessary backrooms style lore and horror  

This seems like its gonna be a really interesting game, I can see the potential for a lot of secret hunting. Hope to play it soon

Really neat concept and cool environments, i wish it was longer. I did have some issues with the controls- when I went to the menu to lower the graphics and sensitivity i had so much trouble any time i wanted to select the back button. I ended up having to pixel hunt to get it to highlight, and i gave up on trying to hit return altogether and just re hit the esc key. Also when opening the gallery and scrolling through i had no way to scroll back, so if I accidentally scrolled past the pictures i needed- which i did a few times while exploring and figuring out the controls- i was soft locked and had to restart. Now idk if this is an issue on my end or if there is a way to go back or undo things, but if there is it was not explained and i couldnt find it. All that aside, the game itself is very interesting and i enjoyed it. It definitely feels more like a demo in its shortness and simplicity, but that just means i wished there was more to play. 

Seriously such a good game, the liminal vibes and atmosphere in all the rooms is fantastic. Every new discovery was so exciting, I finally discovered every single room in the menu and that felt so rewarding. 

-mild spoilers-

I did think pool room 4 was gonna be the death of me but I was finally able to reach the code in there. I found nearly all of the special rooms just by exploring but the secret ending rooms I did have to resort to videos to get moving in the right direction. It is funny, I saw someone refer to this as a horror game and that didn't make sense at first, but while game is certainly not what I'd think of a horror game, it is actually so horrifying in concept. 

Anyway, fantastic game, wonderful time, gonna check out the devs other games now

-mild spoiler warning- Very interesting and fun to play, I love the sound design of the selection clicks and ambience and effects. It was such a sonically pleasant playthrough.  I was expecting some kind of explanation as to how the player found themselves in the room but i suppose thats left to the imagination. 

I definitely missed the clues for the music box puzzle and only realized them when I was nearly done with the whole game, I feel like that could have been a bit clearer, especially since it wouldn't be accessible to anyone who cant rely on sound. 

We did it! Very simple and sweet. Great concept and super easy to play with my friend who lives a couple states over

*some mild game spoilers* I got these from the bundle for racial justice and equality, and they were definitely a few of my favorites I got from it. First of all, the character design for our monster was perfect, I don't think I would have designed them any other way given the option. And the dialogue options for them were so fun and really felt genuine, they almost always had a response that matched with what I might have said myself. I also loved all the monsters we got to befriend at the pub, they were all so unique and the relationship we had with each one developed so interestingly throughout the story. And their games were so fun, I loved playing cards with all of them! Samson was the hardest for me lol, but I eventually got a good game with it. Also, I just have to say thank you, the option to say we didn't like any kind of monster romantically really caught me off guard in the best way, that's not generally something that I see in games like this. As an aromantic person it really made me feel more connected to the character I was playing and something about hearing them say they didn't look at other monsters that way got me kind of emotional, like I was actually being thought of when the game was being made pff,,, anyway, I really enjoyed this game and I will likely be playing them through again soon! 

I will say however the name is a bit unfortunate... When attempting to look it up and find out more about it and see if anyone else was talking about this adorable game I found out there is an... adult product that goes by the same name and is what comes up if you just search for the name alone.. I really want to draw some fanart for the game but I am worried people will google the name by itself and come upon something else rather different😅

I've played almost all of the rusty lakes games but this one made me feel the most,,, this series is seriously amazing and it's tragic that more folks aren't talking about it. But at the same time there's something nice about the mild obscurity of it
