Really well put together. Even from the start, the music, the atmosphere, the feel and interactions of the hand had plunged into the world. I really like the subtle physics of the hands as you push against things.
I got a bit stuck at the start as I got the book but didn't know I was supposed to put that in my backpack (or even that I had a backpack at that point). It could do with more guidance at the start.
I'd say overall the game is too dark, there's some nice dynamic lighting but I think the ambient lighting still needs turning up so you can see things better.
I like solving the puzzles, however they were a little frustrating more than satisfying. Like some candles I can light with my hands, while others that look similar, I can't. I spent quite a lot of time wondering around not knowing what I should be doing and eventually got stuck.
Overall though, really well presented. Not sure it fits the optional theme for the jam, but a great project. I think it needs to guide the player more and perhaps some optional hints to ease the frustration at times. Really enjoyed it though and would like to see this progress further.
