super fun little game! took about 15 minutes to finish, but could spend another 10 or so going through every dialog option if you're a completionist. it's really visually appealing, the sound is great, and it's very unique and enjoyable :)

i definitely wasn't expecting a game like this browsing free itch.io games lmao. the most impactful part for me was the maze - i can't explain why, but everything about it just felt some kind of way. it's also strange how just a few lines of dialogue can make you feel so much for some ai-generated pixels, jeez. really enjoyed the atmosphere of this game too - it's just so right. the tone of all the text to the player is spot on as well - omniscient, encouraging, but just distant enough. and i have to give credits to the soundtrack because it's brilliant.
i will say: during the third painting, i didn't encounter a monster whilst looking for key cards. i was definitely terrified waiting for a monster to pop up during that whole segment but nothing happened, so i assumed it was a thing the game hyped up on purpose as some kind of metaphor deal, but looking at the comments apparently there's meant to be a monster? so i'm unsure why that happened :( i played in browser fwiw.
overall though i loved this! and i'll definitely be thinking about it for a while.
really like the game so far! i've tried playing twice and both times can't progress further than the basement, after the floor and ceilings move the second time and gigi says she thinks there's something blocking the door on the right. really interested in seeing how this culminates! the house plans in particular are pretty creepy and i'd love to play more.
really enjoyed this :) it also seems like your first solo game? which makes it even more enjoyable, well done! a really clean experience, very atmospheric, a nice variety of puzzles, and gorgeous artwork. it would totally fit in alongside any other big point & click title, and i'd love to see more point & click games by you. the very last scene also pulled at my heart which i really wasn't expecting!
