One of the best games that I played for this Jam!
The graphics here are really amazing! I really want to see a full version of this game with a history and more puzzle variety!
My only feedback is that It took me a while to figure out things and how to tackle the puzzles, so maybe adding a couple of really easy ones to do a little of hand holding could help players.

Great game, and awesome graphics, if I had to force myself to critique it I would say that there is a bug where you can open papers infinitely, or that you can solve the game by accident, but those are small things it's a solid game
This game looks stunning, it's got great sound design, I still don't really get the puzzles, I feel like I'm missing something completely obvious
Hi, thanks for playing!
Do you remember if you found the scattered notes? From what other people told me, they sometimes are easy to miss
I got 2 of the notes, one in the first room and one in the third I think? The problem I had was I just couldn't figure out what the notes were saying, which is what I mean when I think I'm just missing something
At first I didn't understand anything, like nothing, but eventually I made it to the chick end.
This was probably not intended, but I've beaten the game in about 10 seconds by randomly clicking on the runes, lol. Will try to beat it the normal way too. The graphics are amazing
You might've gotten the world record hahaha
Thanks for playing! Nice profile picture btw
Really enjoyed the game, made me want to keep trying until I managed to finish it!
Awesome graphics and sounds, also made me use my brain, nice game!
ok i kinda pressed a bunch of runes trying to figure out what was going on, then it sent me to the credits, the game was really cool looking though!
great visuals, and welldone sounds
Wow the graphic style for this game is impecable. I love the color palette. I was difficult at first to understand the game, but this was a great experience. I love IT! :)
Nice game and looks very well made.. the graphics are crazy good, and requires a lot of remembering stuff..
sometimes when opening the cards it wouldn't deactivate it, so i could keep on pressing and loading the cards
hope you can give me feedback on my game also.
The more active elements is a great idea... it could also help with the learning I think. And yeah, the notes were what I could do during the jam, but I agree with you that a more elegant system should exist. Maybe the player character would "take notes" after seeing a rune in usage, or something like that? Well, I'll keep thinking about it.
Thanks for playing and taking some time to leave your feedback!
Really interesting concept, and a really nice visual style. I'll admit that I only slightly brute force the solution.
Very good concept at work here. It was a fun try
This was a real looker and sound was spot on. Nothing to point in the criticism-department. My brain hurts and that took away some of the fun for me. I loved Of Rats And Humans. You also earned yourself a follow.
Hey, thank you! Glad you enjoyed both games! More games are on the way, as well as updates to some older ones 🙂
Also, happy to know you thought the sound was spot on. Sound design is something I've been trying to improve lately!
Very cool visual style! Interesting idea! But the rules for opening the doors were not clearly communicated to me. I looked at these doors like “The Ram at the New Gate.”
I though I get the tricks with the symbol but as I return as the first room, I need to focus more on the clues that are here and here. I was hook by the style of the game: 3D retro game! It's perfect and I enjoyed playing it in full screen. Congrats!
amazing game! gets the brain juices flowing! or at least whatever was left from trying to release these game for the jam! good job on the jam submission!
I feel so dumb trying to play this, but I managed to get through a few doors. It is a very pretty art style.
