Fantastic concept and execution. Feels like wikipedia deep dives and I'm all for something I do in my freetime as a horror game. Creative and Exciting!

I loved the claymation style, the "puzzle" wasn't insanely difficult and still felt rewarding, and I always felt a sense of unease. Great job devs! <3

All around, this was a very solid puzzle game. I got a little confused with the runes, as two looked almost identical (the N and O symbols) but otherwise, this was enjoyable to play. Very nicely done.

I really liked the atmosphere and mechanics, i just wish it was longer! I found the mythology aspects and design very spooky and fun aswell.

Without exaggeration I think a game in this style has the potential to be the greatest eldritch horror game ever made. By focusing on the creeping chill of studying alone in the dark (instead of things like combat), this feels like the most faithful take on the genre! Especially as quietly studying is what usually invites madness… 

5/5

Good job with the atmosphere and mechanics

5/5

Stunning. Just stunning. And I loved the sound design. Well, I loved everything. I love soothiing horror games

I love the clay animation and the control mechanics with the books and key words from the clay artifact. Wish it was longer or had different stories to show  more discoveries on the supernatural

I had so much fun with this game!! The visuals are stunning, the music is great and I had a great time with the research mechanic. Would love to see this concept expanded.

Such a good game, I wish I could play hours of it with different statues or objects, so cool!

While all too brief, this was a wonderfully eerie experience. I think the handwriting could have been a little clearer on the note for the runes puzzle, as one letter is drawn in a way that it could be confused for a different letter of the alphabet in game. Had to write them out myself in order to fully figure out what the puzzle needed. 

This honestly feels like it could be a teaser for a much larger game. More archeological based horror please. :D

??????? I LIKE THAT

I would have loved it to be a little longer, I was left wanting more, it definitely gave me goosebumps when it hatched, graphically it's wonderfull.

Good Game, like how it was still able to be horrific without jumpscares

I loved what I was able to see. sadly, I got stuck at the runes and could not progress any further.
