Nice game.
Thanks!
The puzzles really make you think! Really like the art style. I did get stuck in some of those barrels on the second level and had to restart because they wouldn't let me move :(
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it.
I will take a look at the barrels if I decide to continue with this game.
I really liked the game, im not a fan of puzzle games so maybe its just me but the first level was kinda confusing. Really great job!
btw if you can play the game that I made and give me some feedback I really appreciate it :)
Thanks for the feedback, yeah a few people found the first puzzle tricky… have already rated your game, was fun!
Nice puzzle game. I like the simple look of it. The first puzzle is confusing. I have no idea what I did even I got pass it somehow.
Nice work.
Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate I may have made the first puzzle too challenging but glad you made it out and enjoyed it!
Cool puzzle game! The music keeps you engaged and I like the visual art! The puzzles are not easy, but not insanely complex. What I would focus on for the next versions are the controls: for me it felt jittery not consistent.
Thank you for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it. I agree the controls need some more stability!
Amazing job. Had a ton of fun playing it.
Tried to work out a pattern in the first room. Took me quite long, but my random movements and pulls of the lever, eventually got me out. The music kept me engaged until the very end. At no point, did I want to stop playing the game. Loved the footsteps sfx, and of course the sense of suspense, mystery and rush. Felt very relieved upon the discovery of the pipes. 😅
I can only imagine how lit the game would feel like with just a bit of polish and enhanced UI. Would love to play the full version. Keep us posted. 🙌
Thank you so much for the feedback, I am glad you enjoyed it so much!
The first puzzle was supposed to be easy but ended up being perhaps the most challenging one.
Yeah I will certainly keep you posted, I am seriously considering making it a full game.
Really nice game! I think I run into a bug in the second room: didn’t find one of the necessary boxes anywhere and had to start over. Other than that and the erratic twitching of the boxes when grabbed and walking while letting them touch the ground, great.
Thanks for the feedback, yeah the boxes could be a little twitchy.
I will look into the missing box issue... think you are the first to mention that but will check it out!
You should be able to go back to the menu. Nice Puzzles.
Thanks for the feedback, yeah great point about the menu...
This is a really cool puzzler game. Gives me a lot of vibes of stuff like Portal and Anti chamber. I played it on my live stream tonight and got through the whole thing. If you would like to check it out to see my reaction and impression of it you can see the replay below. Awesome work. I really like this and hope you make it in to a full game.
Amazing, thank you for streaming my game. So good to see someone working out the puzzles… the hidden pipes were just the right amount of hidden I think but then I have an evil mind!
Nice game! I cleared it after a while, including spending too long trying to build a tower of babel out of boxes to try and get into that booth in the second room!!
Well done on getting the physics on the moveable items pretty spot on. I didn't get frustrated at any point. Also very happy that it ran fine on my old Haswell i5 with integrated graphics. Nice job.
Thank you for the feedback!
Yeah even if you made it to the top of the both you would have been teleported out as I thought someone might be succesful XD
Glad you enjoyed it and made it out!
Well done!! I got serious ‘The Turing Test’ vibes from it. Controls were a little bit difficult, but it added to the fun of trying to solve the puzzles. Good job
Thank you for your feedback I appreciate it!
I am glad you enjoyed it despite the controls!
I had a blast with this the two hidden boxes in the second puzzle got me good. I am very impressed how well it runs especially on the web. Only issue is the last puzzle is bit frustrating cause the box blocks a portion of your vision. Overall really solid puzzle game.
Thank you for the feedback!
I agree about the blocks, I tended to pick them up to one side to improve vision. Something I will work on to improve the playability!
Really nice puzzle game ! I had no problem on the puzzle itself, just I was unable to see the pipes on the wall so I search for soo long to climb to get to the switch x) And when I carried a little box with me, I couldn't see what was in front of me anymore. Apart from this, really nice game, i like the ambiance, reminded me of Portal and that music is fitting really well ! Good job :)
Thank you for the feedback, yeah the pipes were intentionally hard to see as part of the puzzle :)
I take the point on the boxes , I had the same issue in play testing but making them smaller would have not worked for other reasons. I will give it more thought!
Glad you liked it!
Nice puzzle game! Great music.
Thank you , am glad you enjoyed it!
I'm embarrassing of my self.
But the game is real good lol
Thank you for the feedback. Appreciated!
I liked this, and was proud of myself for making it through. One suggestion: use lights to draw players' attention to the most important things in a scene. First person puzzle is a HARD genre, but you pulled it off, well done!
Thank you for the feedback, am glad you enjoyed it. Will take on board the lights drawing attention… found it a tricky balance between too many clues and none at all!
Even if it's more of a puzzle against the environment and not a twitch shoot or you get shot at game, I'm no good at FPS controls of WASD+mouse. And unfortunately at times the movement was really jerky...
Thanks for the feedback, can’t be for everyone!
Had some issue with the controller (mostly resolved) and will probably make my own going forward rather than using unity one!
Thanks for giving it a go!!
At first I struggled a bit (I'm not very good at puzzle games) but when I cleared the last room i did it with some degree of satisfaction! Really good demo! A special mention about the music, sometimes was unsettling but in a good way! I hope to see more rooms in the future...
Just one tiny observation, maybe I would use a little less headbobbing.
Good work!
Thank you for the review, am glad you enjoyed it.
I agree the music was done very well by the artist I found on youtube! :)
Yeah, thanks will take a look at the headbob.
Awesome!
About the music, if it's not a problem for you I would like to listen other work made by the artist, can you link some videos on youtube?
Thank you!

Found him when I made my one other game… makes great stuff IMO!
Very interesting 3D puzzle! Very good sound and visuals! I´ve just found too difficult to figure out what is the objective, only from the game itself. But I don´t use to play many puzzles. Very good job!
Thank you for the feedback, I am glad you liked the feel.
Yeah it is a difficult balance between too much info making it too easy and not enough. I will take this on board. :)
