Theme inspiration
I decided to go about the passage theme in two different ways that I thought would be interesting together. You see the idea is that you are reading Journal Passages of a late explorer in order to get through a passage of caves with a number of puzzles inside.

I think the music was quite nice but didn't fit the game much as I think a more nostalgic music would fit better with the story.

As for the puzzles, I understood much of them (I really liked the morse code for you bipped it yourself) but had a little bit of trouble understanding the last two, I think the hints were a little difficult to understand, I had to replay the games three times and have someone else play it to finally understand the tic tac toe one, and, unfortunately, I didn't understood the last puzzle.

That said, I quite enjoyed the bittersweet story that was told through the hints and would totally play it again in some months/years.

It took me 20 minutes but I got through it! I am a sucker for puzzle games so this was really fun! I am happy you showed the morse code after some time, and the last puzzle was really clever and sweet. The only thing I could not figure out is how the tic tac toe puzzle is supposed to work. Luckily the room was not too big and I got through by just trying it.

I got through the first room, but I don't get what about the second room relates to the journal. You've got multiple pages dealing with letters but the only ways of interpreting them I can think of (substitution or hidden messages) don't result in anything.

Sorry. Each page was to do with a respective room (with the occasional looking back for one or two rooms) however pages 2 and 3 got switched somewhere in the process and I didn't catch that I did that until it was to late.  All I'll say is that the third  page has the clues and the first page has the context your looking for for that room.  Hopefully that will help you.
