Finished the game twice, completed the puzzle second time around. I like your writing!
Hard to talk without spoilers, but I have to say I did find the puzzle very vague, I wasn't sure what I was being asked to do. Although I have no idea how It could be presented clearer. After I kind of stumbled into the solution it did end up clearing things up for me though so I do appreciate it in that way.
It seems a little silly in retrospect, but at first I only inspected the items and didn't realize i could (or even should) pick them up, although that's probably on me as you did write it out.
Also I did have some pretty long load times between some of the areas, but I assume that's just the web build being evil as it often is.
Though don't get me wrong, this is amazing for your first project! Will look forward to see what you make next time!

Omg! I’m so shocked and also so happy someone was able to solve the puzzle. Hopefully as I get more game dev experience I get better at making things more intuitive . I also have an update that will hopefully reduce the load time once the voting session is done. Again, appreciate the feedback. Thank you <3
