The atmosphere is so tense and oppressive, love it!

There's something about learning to use the device for the first time that reminded me of Myst. I can't quite pinpoint what, but that's what came to mind as I learned how it worked.

Assets for HallowbrookI really liked the style of gameplay, how u interact with the machine is interesting in itself!
Very spooked when the lights went out.
Some creepy music or even just more SFX (like rain) would make a big difference in the atmosphere.
I like your graphical style quite a bit, reminds me of retro adult comic books ^^
However one thing was confusing, I wasn't sure what the circles in the top left meant, I assumed they were orbs but the number didn't match what should be in my inventory, maybe that's a bug.
Thank you for sharing :}

The BrainvoreAfter just a minute of playing, I already want more. Do you plan on continuing the development?

Bearer of Blessingsreally fascinating story, i was quite pulled in... well done, some music would do wonders here, as ive found the game dead silent at times, and not in the earie way, more like... why cant i hear anything sort of way ૮₍´˶• . • ⑅ ₎ა
great game, had the same issue with the black screen after collecting all 3 orbs, talking to the guy, and then leaving the room, it triggers...

Pooky PetCreepy, the atmosphere was on the spot, the sound really good, it gave me shill when the light went down, simple yet effective!

Unrest in peaceAn eerie, atmospheric experience. The power going out seems a bit random. I'm not sure what to do when the screen goes black... I tried waiting a few minutes, I tried talking to the person multiple times, I tried walking out of the room, but nothing seems to give any results... is that supposed to be how the game ends?
Still, the game raises a lot of questions and leaves me wanting more. Good job!

Static PieGot a David Lynch vibe from this one. I couldn't finish it, after getting the third orb and returnung to the guy in the room I accidently stepped out of the scene (I guess?), game only gave me black screen. The visuals are neat though!

The OpeningThank you - delighted about the David Lynch vibe! Sounds like you made it to the end - I somehow managed to miss connecting up the end scene in my rush to submit, but there's no more content past that point - my bad!
(I've added a line to the game's description to make it a little clearer to any other players - thank you for letting me know)
