I didn't finish playing the game (trying to rate as many games as I can before the rating period is over, LOL) but I was really enjoying both the visuals and the writing in this game! Loved the atmospheric starry skybox and the approach to a mixed 2D / 3D style. The writing was thought-provoking and made me curious as to how the game would end, I might loop back to it later! Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out any of the puzzles myself (I did actually arrive at "palindrome" as a potential option but thought it would be for the first door, not the second!) Overall a great submission that I enjoyed!
Really angry at myself for not being able to get past the first puzzle. I got the play and read the dictionary, but all of the words in the book don't seem to work as answers to the puzzle. I'm probably missing something really obvious, but I will say im a big fan of the paper cutout style. I think the page turn for the talking sound is a really cool touch, too!
I think I'll put the puzzle answers at the bottom of the game page for people who are having trouble with the puzzles but want to still get through the story!
I can't seem to interact with anything in the room with the crumbled throne and the big door. Am I just missing something?
Huh that's so weird. No idea why that would be happening but I'll take a look
Should be fixed now!
