Pretty good game, I like the puzzle aspect, I never did figure out what the clues were for some solutions, and I ran into bugs multiple times that prevented me from being able to finish, but I did get close to finishing. Some more fleshing out and bug fixes and this will be a great game. It would be better to have some more horror to it, the little girl is surprisingly creepy in many ways. But otherwise there were sounds that didn't seem to apply to anything and a lack of a threat. Something to make it all more atmospheric and give the player a feeling of dread and a reason to be worried would add a lot. But it's a great concept and seems to be improving along nicely. Best of luck getting the finished game out, and thanks for contacting me, your game is the first in this video.
Thank you for playing and your video.
I am sorry the game bugged on you. I am aware of some of these issues, you had with the cube puzzle. Also, the misinformation you get in the journal, when you already solved the objective. Unfortunately, this is a major bug, I am having trouble solving atm.
The issue with the girl walking constantly against you, I will have to take a look at.
You were almost correct on the chess board. The white pieces go at the bottom, and the black on top.
Did you really just open that zodiac box by luck?
Furthermore, there will be a lot more scary stuff added to the game. You can count on that. I just figure it is more important to fix these major issues first.
If you ran across any bugs, you didn’t show or I didn’t cover, please let me know.
Thanks again!
The only thing I can think of I may not of shown is if you have an item with the inventory menu closed, if you interact with certain things that item can disappear and just be gone forever. I didn't realize the chessboard was top to bottom, the orientation felt like side to side when I saw it, and as the only way 2 players could sit and play the game would be left and right, so that's where I assumed it needed to be. As for how it bugged out in the end, after I left the chessboard with the solution I had made, it would not let me interact with the board again, it would just continuously update the journal, so I would have needed to restart the game again. I did just open the zodiac box with random numbers, I never noticed any clues that would have helped to solve that puzzle, what did I miss? The girl walking constantly is more just weird, it actually added a creepiness to it, so I'd consider keeping it, and maybe just adjusting it instead. But yes, it is important to flesh out all the game breaking bugs before upping that creep factor. I look forward to when you get it all worked out, thanks for watching!

I tried to answer your youtube, but it didn't register....wierd.
Yeah that’s the major issue I have. If I use a cube on another cube which already is in a slot, the cube on the cursor disappears if I press “E”. However, I think I might have solved this issue last night. Need testing though.
Furthermore, I am working on to disallow using inventory items, while the inventory is closed. It is unnecessary and leads to bad behaviors anyway. I will look into the chess issue. Another guy suggested it should snap the pieces, when they are placed correctly.
The zodiac puzzle, is all about counting their limbs. I have a hint in the journal, but I may consider to put a description somewhere in the house.
The issue with girl, was in the dialogue I meant. She kept walking against you. That’s a minor issue. I will also add some more variant behaviors onto her.
Anyway, I really appreciate, to be informed about these bugs, so I can make the game better.
Thanks!
