I like the idea and implementation! Overall all the parts feel coherent.
The thing I liked the most in game concept that every time you need to run up the stairs in a hurry and while running you're asking yourself: "Mjolnir? I don't remember seeing any!" or "Damn, I have thrown these boxes all over the place, how should I count them!".
Enjoyed the fact the game feels scary despite 0 screamers.
-------------
Понравилось то, что атмосфера в игре одновременно давящая и приэтом ироничная. В целом понравилась целостность игры. Удалось создать атмосферу триллера без скримеров.

Понравился кор-геймплей с хаотичными забегами вверх по лестнице и пролетающими вопросами в голове "Мьёльнир? Какой еще Мьёльнир!" или "Блин, а на тех кубах точно стандартные числа?".

Очень зашёл эффект на тексте, интересно, как он сделан (шейдер?).

Понравились лорные вопросы и философские в духе: "Правда ли, что, читая книги, можно научиться отличать правду и ложь?" (возможно вопрос перефразирован).

Ну и спасибо, теперь у меня есть собственная недвижимость)

Thank you so much for playing the game and taking the time to share your feedback. It truly means a lot to me and is the highest compliment I could receive.

Sometimes I'm surprised that people either don't know about some of the features that are right in front of them or simply don't use them. I'm referring to the text effect.

As for your questions: the game contains a pool of 25 questions, with 10 of them selected at random for each playthrough. So you may not have gotten the question about the arrow and the apple, although you most likely saw the target and the arrows.

In the Russian version, the question was: "Did at least one arrow hit the bullseye?" ("bullseye" here is a play on the Russian word яблочко, which literally means "little apple" but also means the center of a target.) That wording doesn't really work in English, so I had to rewrite the question. Instead, it asks about an exact match between an arrow and an apple, and that's why there are apples scattered around the target.

The question about the books is actually quite straightforward. It can only be answered by reading the books. Each book in the room has a letter on it, and when you put those letters together, they spell either TRUE or LIE, which gives you the answer.

Once again, thank you very much. I really appreciate you taking the time to play my game and leave such thoughtful feedback.

Interesting game.

I did guess a bunch of questions and managed to win.

Also there were a lot of QUESTIONS.  How can you say a question is a lie or truth! All the things should be statemenents instead!

The graphical effects were cool, but made it a bit hard to see things super clearly. Or maybe it was the darkness...

It was tense and fun.

Developer

Thank you so much for your time, playing the game, and reviewing it.

You're right. It's my fault regarding questions that should clearly indicate one of the true/lie answer options. I should have rephrase the question as if it were about dice and the maximum number.

Thank you for your review and your time. Hugs.

I tried multiple times but it doesn't play correctly on my mac. I wanted to play it!

Developer

Thank you so much for trying.

I can't test the game on a Mac (my friends and I don't have Macs). I thought the browser would allow the game to be played on different operating systems.

Thank you. Now I'll know in the future that it's better to double-check on as many different operating systems as possible.

The game's really fun yet stressful! It played really smooth. It wouldve been nice to be able to tune down the chromatic aberration in options menu though, because it started to strain my eyes after a bit. great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the clarification. And thanks for playing.

This is my first attempt. Now I have a project where I can test and tweak the SETTINGS. After all, the settings are always done last. And all I've learned about the settings is how to adjust the music.

Thanks for playing and giving feedback. It's important for me to understand "what, how, and why" it should work. So I don't make the same mistakes in the future. Hugs.

A bit of a fever dream of a game - unique entry in terms of concept, but a lil more player feedback when buttons are pressed would go a long way!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. Feedback is very important; I shouldn't have made this mistake. What the developer knows and how players should know it really makes a huge difference.

Thank you so much for clarifying. From now on, I will always put the player's perspective first. "Why is it like this and not some other way?" and so on.

Thank you again. Hugs.

Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in @ 2:01:28. This was a really interesting concept!! I liked the overall atmosphere and vibez!!

I really like the concept; it was fun turning the room upside down to find the answers.

My only criticism is that you can't rotate the objects you're holding to examine them

Developer

Thank you very much. Why isn't it allowed? RMB (Right Mouse Button)...  Thank you so much once again.

I've just given it a go... -_-
I'm really sorry, I hadn't seen it before. I honestly don't have anything to criticize I've got nothing to say because the game is just that good.

A nice game, I liked the level design. The UI was difficult to read but I guess it is just a personal preference.  I wish there was a setting to change the mouse sensitivity, other than that I didn't have any major issues, well done!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool style and concept, at first I wasn't sure if I could leave the room and tried to guess all of them LOL, then I realized I could leave and liked exploring and trying to figure out the answers, fun stuff.

Yoo hi dude i really wanted to try out your game but i think my pc doesnt run it properly or is it some bug but my game was stuck on the main menu and i couldnt do anything and it has both music playing with a guitar riff and another music hope u can fix it when the jam ends or something it looks greats on the screenshots

Developer(+1)

Everything should work correctly, I've checked it many times. But there's always the PC version. Tell me the browser you ran it on.

Submitted

i use firefox and my windows version is win 10 but my highest guess is that my video card is too weak for the game since it is a GT 730
