Ok so I'm gonna rate and review even though I haven't completed this yet, so take some of this with a grain of salt.

This game is very interesting. The idea of having to swap back and forth between the game and an external webpage is very compelling, and gives it a very robust ARG type of feel. The most negative thing I could say about it at this time is that many of the puzzles are incredibly esoteric and difficult to solve. This isn't necessarily a bad thing in the long-run, as those puzzles will inevitably be solved and that information will be spread around. This is the type of game I could easily see a wiki being written for. However in the context of a game jam, it's very unapproachable at times, and the level of difficulty of the puzzles can be genuinely frustrating. I spent several hours trying different combinations of names to no avail, only to learn that I was supposed to use the first letters of each name in a specific order.
Ultimately, I love this game's concept and I think the aesthetics and sound design are on point, especially with regard to the external website. It's a bit hard, and a bit unpolished, but this is definitely one of my favorite projects from Scream Jam so far, and is criminally under-rated.

Thank you very much for this very insightful review.

I appreciate every word and will make sure to take it with me for the next project, this is my first ever game so to hear you've enjoyed the concept is music to my ears.

Thanks for the comment! I'll admit, the hints are not the most intuitive, so the next time I'll develop a puzzle, I'll be sure to make them more obvious!
