It’s short and sweet. I enjoyed the atmosphere, characters, and the little bit of exploration here. The mouse controls and audio descriptions are intuitive. My biggest suggestion would be to add keyboard controls. The arrow keys and Enter and Space would suffice. If this were to be expanded with more content, then I’d consider a settings screen with an option for adjusting the turning speed. I’d also love it if the gamepad had the left stick mapped and maybe some haptics when facing and interacting with things. Nice work!

It could always be both sticks. I wondered if it was going for a single-hand control scheme, which the right stick solves beautifully. When I picked up the gamepad, however, I tried wiggling the left stick first. It seemed that certain sounds walk circles around you, so having a thumb on the stick made them easier to track. I ended up playing with my controller sideways.
