Hello there, after a long break, I am beginning to work on a new game, and because of this I wanted to gather feedback on my last title "skin a gentle blue" to see what does and doesn't work.
For a quick synopsis, it is a text-based horror puzzle game where you explore the pages of a religious tome, solving puzzles while slowly altering your body and mind.

Thanks!
I'm currently giving this a read and it's so interesting!
Even though there aren't many pictures, the writing gives a strong sense of uneasiness and discomfort, at least for me. As poetic as the lines are, they are cryptic and prompt you to use your brain, memory, and resources to solve problems.
*SPOILER WARNING*
I am sooooooo unbelievably stuck on the Haemolacria and Diptera puzzle! I thought you had to lie with the colors like the sequence implies but that doesn't seem to work when I reveal the opposite colors for each...
*SPOILERS OVER*
Anyway... I'll get some sleep for now and come back with fresh brainpower. I know there's something I'm missing...
If you'd like a hint keep reading :
At the top of diptera and haemolacria it says the page is red or blue.
When you flip each word in the puzzle, you can see some become blue, some become red.
The goal is for each page to have all the words of their color showing.
You need to use both pages to learn the color of each word, since each page only has half of the answers.
Glad to see you're enjoying your time so far, good luck!
And that's what I was thinking the whole time, but nothing worked...
*SPOLERS AGAIN*
I'm just going to say what I did, just to make sure there aren't any bugs and it's just me being dumb lol:
Upon clicking everything on both pages, I found that all the red words are sinew, gentle, pulm, fettering, trachea, swollen, scapular, and motion. All the blue words are soft, ligaments, holy, cold, feed, habitual, and rot.
The only red words on Diptera's page are fettering, trachea, swollen, scapular, and motion. I initially just left those five words showing on Haemolacria and changed everything else (in other words, clicking on everything except for fettering, trachea, and scapular), clicked Whisper aloud, and nothing happened. I then tried to have showing all 8 red words on the Haemolacria page (in other words just clicking something, azure, scales, and concious), still nothing happened.
I did a similar process with the blue words, still no luck. Maybe I'm missing something?
I'll keep going on this and let you know if I get anywhere with the puzzle. Super cool and interesting game tho, props to you!
Feel free to check my game out as well, I could use your feedback: https://wasabiiii.itch.io/grass-elemental-demo-demo
Hi, I'm loving this game! Its incredibly unsettling, gross, and deeply disturbing in all the best ways.
It makes me feel like theres bugs crawling on me, and I think thats the first time I've ever meant, and likely the last time I will ever mean ,that in a good way.

I've gotten to the other side of the note on Sequence. Beyond that, I'm stuck. I have no idea what the solution to Manifest or Conception is. I'm assuming I'd get something from the "Birth" chart on the back of the Sequence note, but I can't find out any rhyme or reason to what it means. I've been stuck on this for a few days. Can you atleast give me a hint to what the numbers on the chart mean?
