I heard about this game thanks to your neocities, I've been following you on twitter for a long time, I really like your style and I was very curious to discover this game!
It was a pretty good game. Not extraordinary, but pretty good, especially for a first game made almost single-handedly! The pixel art is sometimes not very nice, some rooms have tile errors, but the cinematics, the 3D models, the worlds in the mirrors and the character portraits are all incredible! The puzzles have a few problems: the 3 objects to give to the patients the game gives them directly without you having to choose, it's a shame it would have made a nice puzzle. The door code puzzle was a bit hard, and the monster in the art gallery I didn't know can killed me and since I'd never saved I had to start all over again ;~; And the boards to retrieve from the water it's a shame to have to take them one by one. The fights are a bit long, and some enemies have a too many HP, especially the manor guards. The game isn't particularly scary, but all the passages with the mad doctor were really creepy and I jumped out of my skin more than once!
Another point: the game's neocities page is MUCH TOO LARGE, it can't load properly! I have a very powerful computer and internet connection, and yet I had trouble loading the page (on firefox and chrome). After a very long wait, I was able to load the page, I looked at your code and your images are in 4000*4000, in png moreover, which is much too big whereas on the site it is displayed in 500px approximately. Other problems, the css file code: when I opened it, I almost crashed my computer. inside there are exactly 206844539 lines of random letters. I have no idea what it is, but one thing's for sure, it kills the page! and it's a real shame, pretty as your site is!
Maybe this review sounds harsh, I know what it's like to have a few games released, but I had a good time! It's very promising if one day you plan to make other games! I wish I had such a cool game as my first game!
