The Barnster's brain couldn't really figure it out. Thought the time the clock was stuck @ was the code to the drawer but was wrong.
i'm rly bad at puzzles LOL so i didn't get very far but i rly like what i saw! cool premise and kinda hypnotic visuals. kenneth seems like an interesting guy
EDIT: i figured it out jsdhfskdjfh i just couldn't find the ball. fun little fucked up game!
Cool black and white graphic style. Not huge fan of reading but dialogues are good. That background sound also gives the atmosphere. Not sure what happend, but I got to this point:
and I coundn’t open it or anything. But overall nice expirence and good game!
There is this one stupid bug in the game where the game thinks the player is in a dialogue event, but it's not. And I have no idea why it happens. some people have it and some don't. If you really wan't to know the ending you can replay the game, and it probably wont have the glitch since it is completly random.
But i'm glad you liked the game.
The presentation is excellent, I personally love minimalism so this was right down my alley! The story is the strongest part of the entire project, it was intriguing seeing the puzzles slowly making senset to me as I kept investigating, that part was really well done! And how the story slowly progressed! Excellent work to be honest!
This game is amazing! Even though it uses minimalistic art style to define objects, everything makes you very curious! This game reminds me of "Silence of the Lambs". Kenneth was very powerful. Fun to solve puzzles, intriguing conversations, and a great ending. It's definitely one of the most engaging games that I've played in this jam. Keep making awesome games! 👍🏻
Interesting story. I liked the dialogues
I have lines and squiggles on the wall and how I'm stuck. Pls send help.
Really enjoyed playing it. Love the black and white art. Awesome game in such a short span of time :)
Very good, loved this!!!! Puzzles are great, the script is very weel done, maybe adding extra dialogue for the items that have already been discovered like the ball would add more closure for it's use. The page theme is also another very good art placement :)
Loved the art style on this one (even the theme used on the game page is very well done and fitting). The complexity of Kenneth's character and the clever dialogues really add to the immersion of the plot. A very unique experience!
I really enjoyed playing! As for criticism, maybe lay more heavy on the detective work! The puzzles work really well even w/o the dialogue :-)

The game just gets you into.
Dialogues and story done amazing, same as an artstyle.
Thank you for such an experience! Hope you could check oue game too :D
Cool game! I thought everything was really well executed. I wasn't 100% sure what the ending meant, though. Overall I thought it was really well executed. :)
Nice game and really chilling atmosphere.
Awesome thriller vibe!
But...idk how get box code. I need some cheat. =|
This game is awesome! I loved the story, the concept, the style, puzzles, everything!
It take me hours to figure the password out hahah
Congrats for your game! It was awesome.
Love the b&w contrast with the art. Nice story as well, well done!
I really the art style. The point and click interactions with things for dialogue felt good too. I got stuck after seemingly exhausting all dialogue and look-at options and being unable to figure out the combination code.
Overall cool entry. This could totally be expanded into a proper game.
Tip: you get the code by subtracting kenneths age from the the year the game takes place in (Both can be found in the news papers)
But, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Wow that was cool! Even for me, who don't like a lot of text :D
Very cool game! Seems heavily inspired from movies like The silence of the lambs and seven, something that i really appreciate. Cool plot, awesome art style! I would definitely play the next version of this!
