Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked the atmosphere. Do you mind elaborating on what was getting in the way to solving the first puzzle? We cut down a lot of what we wanted for the intro/first puzzle, so if it's still too intimidating it'd be nice to know what we can do better next time.

Sure! To clarify, I stopped at the puzzle with the door lock. Maybe I did decode the first signal, but the result felt more like a punishment than a reward, and didn't leave me with an incentive/hook to continue. That combined with the clunky feel of interactions and my lack of patience halted my progress. I'd probably watch a video of a streamer playing it, though.
