The left left thing is a red herring, a misdirection for the player, but a useful information for another character.
Focus on the second part of the text: the secret of the third entrance. If you follow this route, you will find the answer to the timechanger stone's first question. (What day is it today?)
1.) You need the clue that's with the skeleton character. But you can't access it right away, you have to do something first: "anything protected by a living skull ... is inaccessible"
2.) The skeleton's name can be found in the

Lovely animations! I used this as a side character and the hooded protagonist as the player character in my game prototype: Book of Death: The King must die.
I made a white, ghost version of the hooded character. Modifications are listen in the credits, as required by the license documentation.
Yes, a “fast kill” option definitely needs to be added to the full game. This would encourage players to experiment with the different choices. That would also allow players to have fast and crazy killing sprees, just like in Death Note. XD
[SPOILER] The attack of the "eye" caused a lot of trouble for other players too. Many of them solved the situation with a screenshot. :D The intended solution is to open the skeleton's note and switch back and forth between the book and the vision with [Ctrl]. The skeleton's note will remain open at the vision screen, and the eye attack will always reset. But I understand, this solution is kinda unintuitive. [/SPOILER]
The environment reminds me of the game Pentiment. Have you played it? I highly recommend it.
I think that the game has a promising premise. I love mystery games, I am also working on a detective puzzle.
The music is excellent and I have no problem with the way the game looks. The German dub finde ich sehr gut!
Some issues I found: (you are probably aware of them)
– the dub sometimes ends with a loud noise (for example when you interact with the table) – the walking/running animations are not properly looped – I think it's a good practice in modern point and click games to highlight every interactable object
I have a typing deduction game (like Golden Idol games, Obra Dinn) prototype, with a "Death Note" mechanic: Book of Death: The King must die. You piece together character names from documents and dialogues in a medieval fantasy world. If you know the names of the characters, you can kill them to reveal more clues/progress the story. You will learn new rules about the death book during your gameplay.
The first half of the game: As a devoted member from the Order of Fate Enforcers you are on a sacred mission to kill a beloved king in a western empire. However, you will need the king’s full name first…
The second half of the game: Your master has been sentenced to death. He must survive at all costs. A ghost promises to reveal a secret rule about your death book if you solve his murder. You hope that learning the secret will somehow help you save your master.
It has 2-3 hours of gameplay.
Before going fully public, I wish to get answers to the following questions: 1.) Did you reach the end? (When credits roll.) If not, where did you give up? 2.) Is the game too complicated, exhausting? Should it be simpler? 3.) Can you get used to the interface (UI) and controls, or was it uncomfortable throughout? 4.) What do you think about the fonts? Are they too hard to read? 5.) Did you encounter any bugs? 6.) Was the English translation weird sometimes? 7.) Am I cooked? Am I doomed to work 12 hours shift in a factory for $9,600 yearly salary?
