What an amazing way to bring the game's theme to life! The scenery was beautiful, the puzzles were so much fun to solve, and you did an awesome job with the storytelling. Everything came together so well!

Beautifully made game! The puzzle in the library was rough without any notes or anything, and I couldn't figure out the initial puzzle with the invitation. Otherwise, I loved it and want to play more!

Honestly one of my favourite submissions so far. I was blown away by how polished it was and I got a lot of inspiration for my future games from playing it. The puzzles were so unique and fun and I really enjoyed the story. Amazing game!

Thank you!  Good luck with whatever future games you decide to make!

Sixth game I tried on stream.
Absolutely flabbergasted at how amazing this game is. The hint of a story gives me vibes from late 90s to early 00s horror films like 13 Ghosts, House on Haunted Hill and even a splash of Clue thrown in there for good measure.
Fantastic artwork, great puzzles and overall enjoyable atmosphere. More thriller than horror, but it was a great thrill!
Excellent work!

Wow, thank you so much! The 90s/early 00s horror comparison is a huge compliment.  Those were a big inspiration for the atmosphere.
