- I am a big fan of puzzle games, so was happy to try this out! unfortunately, the controls were a bit janky and it was impossible for me to figure out how to proceed, so I was not able to solve the game! I would suggest doing some playtesting for this to see where people might identify bugs or potentially difficult parts of the game. Overall a very nice entry to the Jam!

Really cool! I'm unfortunately very bad at point and click games, so I wasn't able to make a whole lot of progress, but the stuff I saw was great! This is an excellent game for your first game jam!
Thank you! :) I can help you if you want, if you tell me where you're stuck.
Haha, I played for quite a while, but made embarrassingly little progress. I got as far as revealing the safe, and mixing wine and mushroom in the sink. After that I couldn't seem to find the path forward. I have a feeling I was overlooking something simple...
So you didn't find the code for the safe, and didn't find the right phone number to call. You have to use the pills (use them in your inventory) in every room and see what is changed. In the bedroom, the phone directory is changed, presenting you with the hint for the safe password. As for the phone, a message is revealed on the shower door after you take shower, and this is a hint for the phone number (the phone keyboard contains characters in addition to digits). It's also notable that it starts with the exclamation mark.
Nice! I totally missed the phone directory change. And for some reason I interpreted the exclamation mark as a 0 as in "naught point five". Idk why my brain is the way it is...
Super cool game. I'm really glad I came back and finished it!
p.s. I'll let you know if I experience any side effects :)
Yay! Thank you so much again :)
Probably one of the games that i’ve spent the most time on so far because i really wanna solve the problem haha. the controls are a bit difficult to get used to be yeah, limited by the control scheme for the jam. I’m in the process of cooling the final key… i’m a bit stuck…
Thank you! :) Do you still need help? Do you mean the skeleton key? It's not the final yet ;)
I think I'll update it to use the mouse later...
Some help would be nice haha, i feel like i’ve ran out of things to do and i feel like i need to make it blue somehow
Blue=cold ;) Put it into the minibar and close its door.
ah, i was close haha, i didn’t realise i could close the minibar door
I managed to get the drone noise stuck on loop and the turn off sound button didn’t stop it hahaha
I just finished it, once you got into the rhythm of the logic that the game plays by, it’s pretty good. Definitely kept me hooked until i finished it.
Thank you so much! :) Was the sound stuck even when you exited the balcony? I guess I needed to do more testing...
it stopped once the sequence stopped playing, then started up again a few seconds later and just didn’t stop, so i muted the tab and continued until i finished the game lol.
Love all the worldbuilding but I’m not sure how to continue after unlocking the balcony.
Thank you! :) I guess you didn't place an order by using the telephone? Note that the phone also has letters on the keys, and there is a strange message on the shower door...
It took me a while to figure out the ! but I got there in the end!
Yay! I put the hint for ! in the Maintenance phone message, dunno if it was too vague... Did you finish the game?
Yes the rest of the game was much easier for me.
This is a smart idea to do an old point and click game. The UI gave me trouble at first, but I got it.
Thank you! The lack of mouse controls is really restrictive, but then, one would never miss a hotspot :) Maybe I'll make a mouse-based version later.
