Great intro.  It really hooked me.
The book entering is a great framing device.
And seeing all those tally marks on the walls was a great touch.

At first I was a little frustrated cuz I couldn't figure out how to equip my loot.  Died to the Minotaur a bunch of times.  Should have checked the page sooner.

Sometimes I encountered this glitch where I couldn't open the blue and silver chests.  Then on my 3rd or 4th book I got trapped in the house and couldn't interact with anything.  Called it quits there... or did I?

As I was writing this review I looked to the side and noticed a room I hadn't seem before.  Then I remembered the clue about the Green Book upstairs.  I jumped back into the game, and basically blitzed through the rest of it on intuition.

It's a very impressive entry overall.  The books are a bit samey.  I imagine if you had more time they'd be more varied.  Maybe a little more robust with exploring each character more.  Though then you'd probably need mid-book saves if that were the case,

(I lost the first 10 minutes when I accidentally recorded my desktop instead of the game.  I don't think you're missing much.  I patched it up with some additional footage.)

Thank you for creating and uploading a video! That's amazing. It's really useful for me to see other people play the game like you did. Of course it's frustrating for me to see how hard it is to figure out that clicking on the portrait does something, but because of playthroughs like yours I was able to learn that. Hopefully I'll get it right next time! 

Those bugs were about 15 minutes to fix after the jam. Too bad I didn't find them in time.

As for the books feeling samey, yeah the content in there didn't get enough love. More biomes, more differences between the maps, this would help a lot. As for mid book saves, well, let's just say you don't want to deal with the bugs my save system has when you're not yourself on a map that was modified by procedural generation changes. Saving in the library? Mostly rock solid. Saving in the book? Explodes! :)
