- The graphics stand out in this point-and-click adventure and have a really endearing, naturalistic style. Creating a progression of several simple puzzle levels is quite a feat. One area that could make the game better is distinguishing between interactable items and scenery to avoid clicking everywhere!

Loved the art and loved the old school point and click feel of it. The posters were glorious, I love the charadesigns too. Kind of a Day of the Tentacle vibe?
It was however a little difficult to know what I was even clicking on, I found the keys by pure luck lmao
Love the art, the aesthetics, and how the player controls the villain instead of a hero. But I spent most of the time clicking on random things in hopes that I would finally solve the puzzle or get an item.
I enjoyed this game and the unique theme too thanks team and well done. The ending surprised me :)
Tweaked the music and the voices a bit and resized scaling for Aspect 10 across the board, fixed a missing cutscene from the final level.

Cool game but for me the music was a bit to loud
Animations, UI, and Interactions are janky but it has some real character.
