This is probably the most important thing: to make games that mean something to you. Then you'll pour so much effort and love into them that other people will very much appreciate. Other than that, I really liked the art style. I'm a sucker for hand-drawn art, and I enjoy seeing it as an alternative to \"traditional\" art, it shows that when you want to make something you just make it and don't let restrictions affect you. I also really liked the lighting effects, I found them intriguing. Overall, while it may not have lots of gameplay, I enjoyed this game because it was interesting and you put a decent amount of effort and thought into it. Great job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Remco","author_uid":"1000185","time":"2017-05-18T20:22:52Z","epoch":1495138972,"modified":1495138972,"text":"Interesting. If you've read the description it's a bit too easy to figure out shouting isn't the thing to do. Not that I would have done so anyway :smile:\n\nI just found that after I had collected all the letters, (Why that word? Wasn't the whole point to make people relax a bit?) I couldn't actually exit. Brilliant political commentary or a bug? I guess the player decides! :wink:\n\nAlthough maybe I should try shouting at the door, come to think of it...
