Thanks a ton for playing and for your thoughtful feedback! I’m really glad to hear that the game hit those moments of despair we all know and love (or love to hate!) in these kinds of experiences. It’s great to know you found the controls mostly solid, though I totally get where you’re coming from with the tape’s behavior. There’s definitely a bit of a learning curve, but I hope it made things more rewarding as you got the hang of it!
As for the ladder—good eye! That’s actually not the end, but it’s definitely a tricky spot. The ladder is a bit of a puzzle in itself, so don’t give up! There’s more to see beyond it if you can crack the challenge. Check out the walkthrough video that was made exactly for this kind of situations when it is not that obvious where to go next.
I will definitely make some direction signs and much obvious game design later on! :) Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and for pushing through the game’s ups and downs. I really appreciate it! <3
