Game was insanely short. Some of the puzzles were good but if there was supposed to be a story it just was not fleshed out enough to really land or even derive meaning from. The last puzzle was really difficult to honestly figure out. I don't mean that in a particularly good way though. Like the clues for the puzzle were just not really helpful. The game feels like a demo for an idea that still needs to be completely fleshed out. The art really drew me into the game and the atmosphere definitely felt interesting but the story and dialogue need a little more work. If I would give one recommendation it would be to add a mechanic similar to I have no mouth and I must scream with the book where it helps direct players though a small clue or anecdote. One puzzle I really want to note is the clock. If you're going to make a puzzle where someone has to use a clock for it please either make the numbers on it more visible or only use intervals of five. I should not have to brute force a puzzl...
