I enjoyed this game!
I liked the wolf animations! So creepy! Cool password puzzle, too.
Neat game, it had a nice and creepy vibe. As others said, the interaction isn't intuitive, and it feels like E should also work, because clicking on the text isn't very intuitive, but also sometimes you had to click on the environment and not the text, which was confusing. Oh and I don't think you need to explain what the keys you get are for, especially the flower key, that one is rather obvious where it opens.
Thanks for your submission
I realllyyy like puzzle solving and this game hit the itch for me, a little confused on the interaction button initially, didnt know i had to click the words to proceed (i hit every button on the keyboard LOL). The wolf animation is really nice, the concept seems solid!
I tried to test the fix version but the click on the door don't seem to work correctly , I can't use the second door
To use the door, you need to click on the text that appears when you approach it.
Congratulations! I really enjoyed the game. The visual art is excellent, the puzzles are good, and the ambiance and environments are great.
There are some challenges though. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what's "interactable" in a room. I found two digits of the lock code. I tried to find the other digit by trial and error, but it didn't open, which surprised me. Nothing came out of the room with the flowers either. Where's the third code? :)
I understand the game was rushed, so there are some flaws. I apologize for the inconvenience.
The second digit of the code is the poster in the hallway.
Thanks for the game and the review! I'll definitely check out your game when I have time!
No, I already found the second one. I couldn't find the third one. Also, I assumed the lock would open automatically if I entered all the numbers correctly, but it turns out the text at the bottom is a button and we have to click it :) I solved it through trial and error and continued to the next room.
Btw, the game doesn't have any serious flaws. Aside from what I mentioned above, it's a polished game. The quality of the visual art saves the flaws :)
