Allow us to skip the opening cininematic after the first time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The Drag and drop controls are not responsive. When i pick up on an object, there is no feedback until i try moving my character. I expected to either hear something, or see the object i'm dragging snap to my cursor and follow my cursor when i turn around like in Portal or Half-life 2. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>BUG: the notepad fell through the floor and severely restricted my movement. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I got three items on the desk, but nothing happened.  it was the TP, the batteries, and the plant.

I didn't figure out how to drag items until I had about 80 seconds left, because the drag mechanic wasn't very clear or intuitive, so I wasn't sure what to do initially. It's a nice idea, and I think it'd be a good game if the mechanics were worked on just a little bit more."},{"author_name":"Galan","author_uid":"11241","time":"Apr 29, 2015 @ 11:56pm","epoch":1430351460,"text":"Loved the idea and mood, and the shear amount of modelling work that must have gone into it is impressive.
