Thanks for the cautious feedback, as it is a jam we maybe wont further the project, but I intend to improve some of the soundtracks and maybe think later on these tips for improving the idea

some elements are more related to the theme of the jam, since a passage for the realm of death, a fishing, and a gatekeeper were mandatory I believe

most of Lovecraft's work share references from occultism and history of religion, the questions are an addition (I believe if I would change something maybe the info in the story button would be a collectible item, so it wouldn't look something you should guess as a file). 

The original story is about an Anglican priest who is forsaken by banished books that were persecuted by the modern inquisition, in the original tale there is this hut, the man becoming the Anglican priest and gazing this apparitions in the mirror, also the weird flashlight with the purple glow. 

The ID inside the lake is with the name of a character of another Lovecraft's tale, Asenath Waite which was the former witch wife of Derby Pickman, character that named the Derby Pickman Foundation which is mentioned in another tale called at the mountains of madness. 

Her image is a reference of another woman called Lady Frieda Harris, which illustrated the Tarot of Thoth made by Aleister Crowley since Waite is a reference to a family of one of "Crowley's rivals", who else invented one of the most famous tarot decks. 

Another references such as the Arkham Advertiser can be found in another short tales from Lovecraft 's works. 

since it is not an original plot, most of the critics are comprehensible about (religion?) Although they are not only on the game, but instead are direct references from Lovecraft 's work from which the plot was made 

all of this, the story,   the concept, the lantern are directed references to H.P Lovecraft homonymous short tale

it is in the files, since the game is based on a Lovecraft story and concept you would maybe relate if connecting with the original short tale where the story is about a horror of a priest surrounding inquisition and books. The idea is not original, but originates from an story speaking about an Anglican priest locked with forbidden books

Hi, I send you a solicitation at discord (nanlyra). I have an idea of narrative design, with some balance also for the level design, ambience and sounds, but I'm not so good at 3d art or programming so it would be nice to work as a team. 

Hi, I'm a writer and composer studying game design, if you are interested in finding a team, I had a nice idea for this jam based on a short talebut I am a beginner on 3d and programming for unity. 

I enjoy a lot how the narrative combines concepts  of video game's history timeline with the themes in the game, the sense of continuity and strange tones of A Bike can go captured my attention causing those weird feelings of strangeness and curiosity of travelling through time and space, the high notes brought this nostalgic feeling of facing a memory.

Love this submission, Curse of Time is one of my favorites so far, it brings the feeling of disturbance while altering time and space, great references and thanks for the feedback, love how the motifs and colors of the themes can be felt through the whole scales of dynamic in each composition, something I consider a great challenge to achieve with sound assets.

Love your track, awesome how you record all these instruments. The watchtower took me to a metroid kinda of game, but it is really confortable to hear and imagining the puzzle

It was ok to use samples of environmental sound effects? Cause  I pick some nature sounds, but I'm not sure if this was ok, but it is not in the music concept, but as background sound effects in a sample like storms, birds, and howling wolves.
