15 puzzle, but with pictures! An interesting interpretation of an old game.

The gameplay was a bit straightforward, with a lot of repeating elements. Adding in some effects that correspond to the room, like some tiles randomly switching places or the screen goes dark, could add some more non-mechanical elements to spice it up.
I did enjoy the ties to the poem, though. It is an interesting concept, and I think it plays well here.
The Idea for the Story isnt bad, but it would ve been cool if the Puzzle would change over time.
I liked the starting cutscene and has some hard levels, had some iddues with the text on full screen but could fix it clicking in the game fullscreen icon, not the itch.io icon.
Nice game, impressive for what I believe was a solo project, didn't encounter any bugs, and liked that you had full blown cutscenes. My main criticism is that there is no spin on the style of puzzle game that comes from the theme, it seems to be exactly as expected.
Cool game, however I was a bit confused as to if I was supposed to be making the outlines of the different places match the sides of the room, or if I was trying to get the people to the doors. There were a few issues where the text was so big that it went off the screen, but overall this is a great submission!
