That was pretty cool, I like games like the Room series where you open boxes,
I definitely needed the guide, but part of that is that I tried to do something correct and it didn't work because I didn't click it correctly, like lighting the little candle which I knew I needed to do but couldn't get it to work. I think if you redo SFX, improve controls and hit detection it would improve the experience.

Thank you so much for feedback and for trying the game! <3
I appreciate sharing the walkthrough, the graphics were really nice.
And we appreciate you giving it a go! <3
This game definitely needs someone smarter than me because all I've achieved was nothing. From how it's presented It's a pretty interesting premise and the constant white noise in the background just adds to this... Unwelcoming presence for some reason. I really expected some fourth wall breaking scares or something.
Nah, the game came out a bit too difficult and confusing to play, so there's nothing wrong with your smarts! And thank you for taking the time and trying the game! <3
I really like this game! With a small help from the walkthrough I was able to get the good ending. I love the idea of searching for keywords in the books to discover what relic we're dealing with. The whole setting is pretty solid and I would love to see this project developed further!
<3<3<3<3 thank you!!!
Religious unboxing is such an unusual and intriguing premise, and it makes me want to find out what is hiding inside the box. Building a puzzle-driven horror game in Unreal Engine is ambitious, and including a walkthrough file shows real care for players. Congratulations on getting it submitted with the team! If you have a spare few minutes, I would love for you to try my entry, Last Sweep.
Oh it was ambitious, we got to experience it first hand :D Thank you for kind words and giving the game a try! <3
I feel like if I weren't rushed to play other games for rating purposes, I'd give this one a lot more time, but I looked up the walkthrough.
It's very reminiscent of old puzzle games with 3D-rendered backgrounds but still very much "retro" when it comes to gameplay and interactions. The game made me feel a certain sense of nostalgia I haven't felt in a while
It is confusing, but I wouldn't say it's unsolveable. Again, if I had more time to give this, I would. I like it a lot
Yeah, I feel you, but being rushed is the name of the game in such a short jam, so we had to rush a lot of things :D Thank you so much for taking the time and trying it out! <3
The premise sounded fun, but I swear to God I have no idea what to do, even with the walkthrough.
As an abbot in a monastery you're not supposed to swear to God! :D Jokes aside, thanks so much for giving it a try! <3
I really dig the medieval setting and atmosphere, but the game is really confusing to play
Yeah, it is a "bit" confusing, sorry :D Thanks for giving it a try!
