That was actually pretty easy however that last part made me whip out notepad.

Reminds me of Underground Blossom

Reminded old escape room games.  Hand part was a little hard to find.

Submitted

Love the music! Not sure I would have got the hand part without clicking accidentally, but made it to the end!

Room escape is my favorite genre and this was a good short one — nice to see one in a game jam! I enjoy the idea of having two different views that work together and the puzzles were nice, very Rusty Lake but sci-fi. I did have some trouble when the cursor would turn into the blue hand, its hitbox was sometimes a little off.

I'm not familiar with this genre, but liked it! Congrats

Good to see another game concept! Great job.

Love the vibes! Nice to see something different.

Pretty to see another type of games here! Art is pretty, so I liked gouged eye :D

Submitted

It's refreshing to see another type of game concept (point-and-click).  I really enjoyed playing it!

I love surreal auras, game, movie or otherwise, so points for that out of the gate =D.  Personally, I don't mind a little math puzzle, but I did break out notepad++ because I suck at doing it in my head LOL.

I like the puzzle "style" a lot, kind of has the vibe of Assassin's Creed puzzles, which I loved for being thought-provoking with just the right level of making me think without being frustrating or too cryptic to answer.

Would love to see something like this continue down that route, and have a backdrop of a story to tie in the creepy stuff!

Really enjoyed it! Cronenberg vibes :)

This game is nice but a little short. I like the fact that the room is small, because I don't like clicking around for ages with nothing happening. However this is the only room! So if this game is extended, multiple small rooms like this, but in sequence, one after another, would be good.

The algebra puzzle was unexpected, I found it easy but not everyone would. Anyone who isn't able to deal with equations would need a hint to progress.

I like the clean graphics and music as well, the music is fitting.

Please also check out my game and give it a rating!

Neat submission, it reminds me of old flash Escape The Room games from Newgrounds. I finished, although I found some of the puzzles nonsensical. Please don't make me do math next time XD

Great comment! We’d really appreciate it if you could point out the specific nonsense puzzles.
