Thanks for the game! At first I played without reading the rules on the game page so I did the thing that it warned me not to do. But then the next time I explored more and got it! I sometimes get motion sickness from first person games but this wasn't too bad (maybe because it was shorter). The atmosphere (with the music and the cold screen) was pretty tense, and I wasn't actually sure I had enough information to solve the case but it was neat making the detective leap. I also liked the note saying "I'M COLD!"

Thank you so much for the feedback! Given more time, we definitely would've had a wider suite of clues (and potential red herrings) related to the case, but there was a lot we had to cut from the narrative in the interests of meeting the deadline. It's good to know that the signalling of the potential issues on the rules page coould be clearer, as well. We'll be sure to incorporate that into the next version of the game. Glad to head you liked the note - that was one of my favourite puzzle elements to write!
Hi again - I've just watched your playthrough of the game. Thank you so much for streaming (and your "time to take a break" song is incredibly catchy!) Seeing your reactions and thought processes on screen was incredibly helpful for me in terms of figuring out where we could improve the game. I've converted my next comments to rot13.
