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.)
