very clever, after a few minutes playing I was wishing I could remove the crt effect though as I found it painful after the first few minutes,  but a really inventive great entry

When I loaded the game, I almost immediately stood up and was unable to continue using the TV.  I explored the room a bit but it was far to dark to see in a couple places.  Then I went to the door and I got the credits?  Vibes are immaculate and I appreciate the unique controls for the "point-and-click" type gameplay you were going for.

This is a very cool idea that I enjoyed playing and has hidden depths. That first time stepping out of the game into the real world was a 'wow' moment as I hadn't looked at your page or any of screenshots beforehand - ideally it would be a surprise for everyone!

There are some bugs with interactions in the real world - I didn't seem to be able to click on some things that looked like interactables and others seemed to have their hitboxes misaligned. I really wish I could have used the mouse to move the cursor to be honest.

The CRT effect maybe needs to be toned down a little as I found it a bit overwhelming after a while and it's sometimes difficult to parse text and icons in the video game because of it. I liked the puzzles in the video game (sokoban metroidvania!) and they felt like they were balanced pretty well. There was at least one time though where it felt like a block should be able to fit somewhere it couldn't and sometimes there was a delay in moving a block like it was getting momentarily stuck.

I think with some polish this has a lot of potential.

Hey guys: as of now I am not able to play the game, since I don't get any graphics shown in firefox and in Chrome the game wont stop loading. Is there any fix or hint to it?

Really good job at guiding the player the right way, after I got the pull power-up, I thought I just swapped it out, but the next room explaining it was smart. Also in the flashing room when it tells you to pause and it zooms out, I was like OMG!! What a reveal! It was some Grade-A showmanship! It was a little cumbersome to walk around the room with the point-and-click style and I did sequence break a little with being able to grab the mirror and pages sooner than expected, but including the diary and trying to understand why Delilah made the puzzles more personal than just "go up, down, than left" which a whole new layer of enjoyment from the game.

The collision was a little frustrating, some blocks looked like they could be pushed/pulled but wouldn't fit some times when I loaded into a room, and other times I got stuck along a smooth wall and had to redo the Naga room a lot. The game was super bright and hard to make some stuff out, but the minimal Atari graphics made it manageable, so great job tying the theme into functionality! Also the room getting changed via the game was a little paranormal element I wasn't expecting, maybe the player having to puzzle together that the room  was the same as the one you're in and having to manually move the bed in real life could have bridged that for me, but perhaps there's an element to the story I missed with that.

I'd love to see an expansion on the parallels to understanding the developer character to solve their puzzles in-game if a continuation of the project happens or a sequel!

A very unique and spooky idea that's sadly being significantly held back by bugs in the "real world" side of the game and the puzzles being "slightly" too obscure for the average player (me). I had to look at the comments to figure out what I was supposed to do, and even knowing it, it was hard to execute due to problems like:

• the hitboxes for the various interactables being misaligned with their visual location
• interactables overlapping with each other (trying to turn around but interacting with an object instead)
• parts of the room being very dark (not sure if intended or not, but the whole area with Froggy was basically completely black for me and I only found him by randomly clicking around, thinking he was just an easter egg due to being hidden in pitch darkness).

I know this might be a big change to implement at this point, but honestly I think the "real world" side of the game could benefit from just letting you move freely in 3D instead of the "old school" step-by-step movement (which also had its share of bugs, like being able to stand inside the bed or the PC after moving them in the Atari game).

Like the comments mentioned, the ending was actually unlocked from the start and I stumbled upon it pretty early on, again thinking it was just an annoying easter egg that froze the game. But, I think the intention was to have the spiral room in Atari reflect through the mirror shard and onto the real world door, thus unlocking the portal to Fantasia?

Even with all these issues, I still had a lot of fun piecing together the story from the notes and the game, and I think the unintended sequence breaking might have even added to the experience (like working out the events backwards from the ending). If the implication of the ending is that we can be reunited with Delilah in some way inside Fantasia, then that's a really cool and bittersweet conclusion, too!

Also, I liked the Naga "boss fight" a lot, it was a cool twist on the "Lost Woods" trope. Overall, a very cool concept that I'm definitely excited to see polished!

Really liked the fresh idea of a game inside another game,  both modes were fun really fun! TV screen was sometimes too bright and some block pushing puzzles were unintuitive, but overall it was a cool experience
