Great work! All the visuals look good, I really like the narrow view in the corridor. The puzzles are engaging and the solutions are clever, especially the password one. Sadly I couldn't finish it because I didn't have the pencil in the right place: since it came from Dr. Kaminsky's briefcase, it stayed in Scotty's inventory (it was not on the table as it says in the swimthrough), and I couldn't figure out how to give it to Marla. I tried using it directly on the coffee machine with Scotty but it didn't work either. I was able to pass the other items from Marla to Scotty though, so I probably missed a chance to do the pencil part correctly; I'll try again later. Still, I really liked everything up to that point!

Bummer. The pencil ends up on the table once you solve the substitution. If you skip it and enter the password by a walkthrough solution (or figuring out the substitution table manually for the letters you need), then Scotty will never put it down on the table again. We did not build in a contingency for this (yet).
Thanks for the help! I tried playing it twice and did the *exact* things you mention: the first time I played around with the diary until I understood how it worked, substituted the letters I needed and wrote them down on a notepad, and the second time I just typed the password in since I already knew it.
I'll play it again later to see the ending, third time's the charm! :D
