I love the references to mythology and the sphinx's riddle was wonderful. Had to really think about it!

I think this is a cool game, I really liked the puzzle that gets you the scissors. Also, I'm a fan of the horror elements but I won't spoil them here :)

But I couldn't figure out what to do with the scales -- it says I need to examine them closer, but I can't seem to examine anything in the room? I'm probably just missing something, but I restarted twice and got stuck there every time, no idea what I'm supposed to do next! Also, I like the idea of having limited commands, but I wish commands like "examine room" etc didn't count against me since I'm just trying to see the explanation again without moving my hand to my scroll wheel :P

Very cool idea and atmosphere though, I had a good time.

I thought this was a really neat concept :D I was a bit confused at first cos I kinda suck at puzzles xD But I just kept clicking on stuff and reading until I found the thing that mentioned using the help command. Then I was just messing around trying various stuff in there, leaving one command in particular until last cos I had a feeling it was gonna result in something bad, haha, and I was right! I won't say what it was cos I don't wanna post spoilers here x3 

As someone who suffers from depression + various mental health problems, I felt a sense of familiarity with some of the notes + also the emails regarding job applications, haha.
