The Unfortunate State of Being Alone by youdonotexist
I haven't had too much time to test this, so I will be working on fixing bugs after submission and will merge the show stoppers into the compo entry.
==== FIXED the issue with getting stuck on the second floor=====
==== FIXED linking to the incorrect game =======
WASD to move around
Space to interact
Mouse to click empty word area
Keyboard to enter text
After you meet the janitor, you can solve the word puzzles in each apartment unit. Each apartment unit has a series of interactable items that tell a small story. Each story has or relates to the missing words in the room.
I apologize if you don't like the music. I'm new to piano.. and just played what came to mind during the last 10 minutes of the compo. :)
==================Spoiler================
The first puzzle is .. much harder than it should be. The answers for this room are "dies" and "believe".
Unfortunately, I ran out of time and didn't get to go back to this puzzle to flesh it out a bit more.

One thing though; the music is annoying as heck. It went in the right direction (good instrument choice and scales - or rather, lack thereof) but something about it makes me want to get out of this damn elevator!
I kind of want to rate it poorly because I didn't really like how it turned out. On the other hand, I kind of want to rate it highly because it's one that I'll remember...
The word puzzles were a bit obscure, glad you had the answers posted. :)
I like the walk animation, it's silly.
Very unique, good job!
So is the life of an LD game. :)
