This is a innovative idea with a bunch of potential that requires the player to participate in a room escape game using audio feedback. The idea is great - the stereo channels help orient the player around the room, which helps them locate objects and find a way out.
The game display doesn't seem to be optimised for my resolution and cuts off part of the screen, so at first I didn't realise that there is also text feedback in the game to assist the player! I sort of just fumbled around until I found the key and the first door exit.
This mechanic has plenty to offer. I think the most interesting aspect of the game is finding novel and non-visual ways to assist player navigation. Here's an idea, if probably unworkable - instead of telling the player what objects are, why not use sound effects?
This game fits nicely into the concept of the jam and adds a fun twist on the room escape genre. I really encourage you to keep finding new ways to approach conventional genres!
Thanks for submitting this game to the 'A Dark Room' jam!

hi, can you show a screenshot with the display moved out?
Sure! My resolution is 2560x1440. I'm on Chrome, if that helps.
by double clicking on the game window, you can play in full-screen mode
