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.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the sound, because that was one of my main focuses when making this game.

A short and sweet game, i completed the game in less than 5 mins i believe. I really hope that the game can be expanded upon in the future.

Love the graphic and the atmosphere. I really hope the game can be longer. Will you work on it further?

Developer

Thanks for the kind review! I wasn't initially planning on continuing the game, but I think that it deserves to be a little longer, so I might add to it some more in the future!

A short and sweet escape room type puzzle! Hoping to see the game further expanded with puzzles of increased complexity!

The puzzles were fun. I like art. Game is small, but great!

Developer

Thank you for the kind review, and I'm glad you enjoyed playing!

Submitted

The puzzles were a bit easy, but I loved the graphics and visual effects. Keep it up.

Developer

Thanks for playing! For this game, I'd wanted to make an easy experience that pretty much everyone could play, but I agree that the puzzle definitely could've been quite a bit harder.

Submitted

The puzzles were really fun and the music was appropriate. Hope you expand this game!

Developer

I'd like to build more onto this game in the future as well. Thanks for the kind review!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Fun escape style game, the puzzles were on point and the art work is fantastic. Great job!

Developer

Thank you for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

Nice puzzle game, maybe a little to easy, but impressive work for a solo dev!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind review! The reason the puzzles were so easy was because I was trying to make a game that most people could play quite easily, but I definitely agree I could've made the puzzles quite a bit more difficult. Thanks for playing and rating the game!

Submitted

I 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! 

Developer

Thanks 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!

Submitted

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!

Developer(+1)

Thank 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. 

Developer

Thanks for the kind review! I'm glad you liked the art!
