Now this was fantastic.
I’m not typically a horror type of person, but you really nailed down the feeling. Giving the people different personalities when talking, as well as the mini-puzzels that not only contained hard riddles but also questions with answers controlled by the player, was genius.
After my third playthrough, I managed to beat it with 222.6854 time left to spare.
I did have a few issues with this one, however. For one, I had no idea how to read the time. …y-yes, I know how to read analog clocks. I just had no clue where the hands needed to point to for my time limit to be reached. I would have liked some indication of that.
In addition, the controls felt very floaty. I get that’s what you were going for, which added to the challenge, but it also made it a bit annoying to leave/enter the shop. Keyword “annoying”, not “difficult”.
Other than that, fantastic work.
Oh! Also, those typing challenges were the bain of my existence.
