Great level design, keep it up!

As has already been said, the visuals are great, it has a very creepy look to it. The environment, I feel, sets itself up really well for an escape room type game with puzzles and passwords. Is that what you were trying to create? If not, that's okay, it might just mean you need to tweak some aspects of the game (mechanics or environment) to push it towards your intended game style.

Personally, I think the timer could be extended just a little bit. Reading the riddle and then relating it to the numbers found around the place did eat up a lot of time. I did have to do multiple runs to think about the riddle and try out combinations until I eventually got it, which probably could have been a part of the timer instead. Even the animation to get out of the bed at the start was eating into the timer, which would either need to be paused until the animation finishes or added as extra time.

Another idea that could be cool to experiment with is to remove the timer on the player's screen and replace it with a physical timer that sits in the game world. It could be digital (like a large LED wall timer), or analog (classic alarm clock or egg timer). This way, the player is forced to search for the time they have left, pulling them away from a puzzle for just a short amount of time.

Would be great to hear what you think. Even if the ideas I gave don't go with your idea for this game, I would still like to know.

Well done again, game looks great so far.

Actually, the idea was indeed to make an "escape room" game with puzzles and passwords—I just didn’t have enough time to fully implement them. As for the timer, I already realized that myself, and in the next version (which will be released after the Game Jam), this issue will be fixed. I tried to set the timer on one of the monitors, but I couldn’t get it to work.

Thank you so much for your feedback and suggestions!

I'm glad you already had those ideas to begin. I hope to the updated version.

It's certainly a work in progress, but the visual style is top notch. If you finish developing this, it'll feel really good to play.
