Really nice game - with perfect music and sounds. Minimalistic graphic works more than well :)

Your text is very poetic. The codes are nice and clever. You did a lot with just the single room.
The simple artwork in (mostly) black and white in combination with the music creates a very unique mood. Said mood is probably why the walking speed is so slow. It makes sense, but I'd still prefer a slightly faster movement.
The puzzles are good. I really like how you incorporated them into the room. They make sense but aren't too obvious. It's fun figuring them out. Overall a great game. :)
Had to scribble notes for this one. These few simple puzzles were pretty hard, but when they clicked it felt really satisfying. The game has very simplistic arstyle and quite short story, but it still able to create a fantastic atmosphere. Great work!
I liked the music and the graphics. The puzzles were fun too.
I was stuck for the longest time because I didn't know which code I had to crack first so I was trying to do the bed one first and since it talked about alcohol splats, I spent the longest time trying to count the number of green splats in different places and trying to figure out a way to use them to get the code. When I finally gave up on that one and tried the other one, it was quite easy.
Overall, a nice game!
Simple art and nice atmosphere rendering! the vocal and wind sound in the music made me feel like thinking in a pure lake.
This one was really fun! The puzzles were logical with clues spread all throughout the room, and your prose mixed with the music really set a cool mood. I kind of wanted to know more about my player character and what his deal was with alcoholism, but I had a great time.
The first puzzle was quite hard, I didn't carry on playing after that as I thought it would get even more difficult too quickly haha, really good game tho I', sure people who are into puzzle games would love this.
The gameplay and puzzle was very great and challenging. Though the game took me like 20 minutes just to do the first puzzle, but it's really engaging and interesting to play. The atmosphere was great too.
(I am simply just bad at puzzle games, but I enjoyed this one)
I like it! It was bit annoying to have to deal with the character walking so slowly, however it makes sense narratively. I could not figure out the fourth number of the first lock, so I had to brute force it, but otherwise the puzzles were challenging to a reasonable level.
Overall, beautiful game. Love the writing and atmosphere.
Very elegant submission this one!
I like the art style, you did a great job conveying everything perfectly with the limited palette too.
The writing is descriptive and very well done. A simple “the door is locked” was even written in a very sophisticated way.
Awesome job on this one!
I like how the entire map is in one room, but still presents a challenging puzzle. This helps because I don't have to travel far to look back at clues.
