Thank you so much Dominic, for your positive feedback on the mystery story, mechanics, and art. I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Regarding the hitboxes, I admit it was challenging to handle them with Pulp, but I'm working on improving them.
I've also noticed the bug with the clue list... Unfortunately, it came up too late in the development process. I'll fix it as soon as possible in an update.
For the questions, I understand it can be easy to miss the differences. I'll work on increasing the feedback and making it clearer.
Lastly, for the basement, if the door is open, you can walk through it to finish the game. You just need to move around the central object to do so.
Thanks again for your valuable feedback!
