The clues were well-placed, although (spoilers) I feel like I found the key through dumb luck. I just kept missing my gunshots and eventually accidentally got the key. Still, good game. I also really like the art and animations (especially the fruit bat)."},{"author_name":"CMLSC","author_uid":"86097","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 12:52am","epoch":1472431620,"text":"That was a fun little puzzle game. :P\r<br\/>I didn't exactly ever get stuck, but I'm very confused as to what the body was in my inventory after I opened the ship's door...
