Really interesting idea! Would've loved to see more decoration on the map, I had a lot of fun exploring it. Good work!

A very unique idea! I like how you portrayed the Dr.'s psyche, and how it was almost in a scrambled state. Dialogue worked great, but if I accidentally clicked on it again after ending, I had to go back through a lot of dialogue. Great work overall!

Intriguing! I had a fun time working my way through the maze and talking to Dr Finch's patients. I thought the writing was well done, and the art and programming both show promise. I would love to see this game fully fleshed out!
