Couple of questions

Hi! I really like the game (once you get used to the controls). I have a few issues though:

I can't seem to pick up the key above the bathroom mirror. Is this a bug or is there something I'm missing?

Found the safe, but how do I look under the bed? Every time I look at it then the game just asks if I want to go to sleep. 

After having the bath and watching the video. The person that calls just keeps telling me to drink tea every day. Is that a bug or do I have to drink all the tea?

Is there any way to drop/place something down (like the remote control) without it disappearing forever?

How does stress affect the character?

Thanks for the info. Keep up the great work! :)

Bathroom mirror key cannot be picked up - a decision i now lament. It will be changed asap.

No way to look under the bed - another loose end i didnt think would ever be an issue. It will be changed asap.

Regarding the calls, the game is currently set to loop once youve completed all of the currently active puzzles. I think i need to add a final phone call to provide a more definitive ending to the demo.

Regarding dropping items, the safe is designed for the purpose you mentioned. I didnt expect it to be required or desired for the demo, but i think i was wrong on that. Its on my todo list.

Stress currently affects a number of difficulty metrics, as well as how often a "spook" is triggered in the game. It also affects the player's response time window when looking directly at spooks. Ive coded the mechanic to be easily readable, so going forward it will affect things like dialog trees, interaction options, etc etc.

Thank you so much for the interest!
