Game description
Unravel puzzles to reveal hidden entrances and unlock the secrets of an ancient ritual.
Theme interpretation
When I heard the theme, "Secrets" I immediatley thought of an escape room, where there are tons of mini, interconnected puzzles to solve that lead to more puzzles and more secrets. I wanted to make a game like that.

A mystical game. The sound design made me cautiously curious. I like it.

My Grandfather's SecretNice puzzle game, maybe a little to easy, but impressive work for a solo dev!

Museum ServivitI really enjoyed your art style! The puzzles were a bit too easy for me (I completed the game in about 2 minutes), but I still enjoyed how they were all connected. The audio was good but maybe a bit repetitive - something I learned that helps a ton here is to make your loops a bit longer (~45 seconds to a minute) and get quiet towards the beginning and end of the loop to make it more seamless!
TLDR I didn't run into any crashes or anything, and the art was pleasant! Great submission overall!

Heavy Metal AlchemistThanks you for the kind review! One of my main focuses making this game was the art, so I'm glad you liked that! I'll definitely be using your advice about loops in the future, because yeah, the music does get a bit repetitive after listening for too long. As for the puzzles, I had wanted to create an easy game that almost anyone could play, but I agree that the puzzles still could have been a bit more challenging. Thanks for playing!
Classic escape room game. I think the puzzles could have been a bit more challenging, but they were still clever, and the art style worked well. Having layered music is a nice touch to signal progression to the player. Overall strong entry especially for doing it solo!

Remnants UnspokenThank you for the kind review, and I'm glad that someone finally noticed the layered music! The main reason the puzzles weren't too challenging is because most of my games up until this point have been on the harder side of things, and I wanted to make a game that just about anyone could pick up and play. But I do still think I could made my puzzles a bit harder and still have the same "easy-to-play" sort of game. Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great job! I liked your game art style, the minimalistic animations made it very appealing.
