Lovely graphics! I included it in my compilation video series of the Low Rez Jam games, if you would like to take a look :)

A very-well made puzzle game, even if I am not well-versed into the Lovecraftian lore at all. Graphics were really good and really helped to set the atmosphere. I enjoyed it a lot (and finally managed to both banish Abhoth and get to Oneiros after 8 or 9 tries)!
However, is it intended that the "secret bookshelf" can be opened before the clock's puzzle is solved?
I hate puzzle adventure games so I'm not a good customer on this but I have to say, as a fan of Lovecraft, this nails what I imagine the mood, visuals and setting for such a game. Very, very nicely done!
As others have said, simple walk sounds, pages turning, clock ticking and whatnot would add a LOT I think to what is already an impressive work.
Not my style of games but I totally respect your work, kudos! One of the best entries I've check so far.
H.P. Lovecraft plus beautiful artwork. Wow! Needs some improvements, Other people suggested the back button, yes, it was very confusing for the first time. And some minimalistic sound effects would help a lot. (walking sound, paging, clock ticking, some environmental sounds like wind for the outdoor).
I really love the artwork and style!
Great game! You did very very nice job with the art and story. While playing this games one can see how a 64x64 resolution can give a really beautifull experience.
Great graphics -- the text is a little hard to read at times, especially distinguishing D and O, or similar -- but the feel of the game is marvellous. It really misses sound!
