One tiny thing: as @aberdeenphoenix said, it would be great to be able to know which colors are on or off.
I would like a "run" button. Perhaps also a bit of music to set the mood?
I got stuck after getting the fourth colour (which I assumed to be brown, since that one was mentioned on a note, but maybe that was orange?). There was a room asking for three colours and a note saying "green, blue, brown", but I tried those and nothing happened, so I couldn't figure it out after that.
Like many before me have said, there needs to be a better indication of which colours are active. Green and blue are easy to see in game, but yellow does almost nothing and brown/orange(?) not much either. It would be good if they were also marked with a white border or something in the inventory to indicate on or off.
The mood is neat in general. I like the lighting, and of course the colour effects add up too. Too bad there was no audio. There's a feeling of mystery that makes me want to keep investigating to figure out where I am.
Basically a good game but unfortunately a bit difficult to play! c:
The puzzles are really well designed but I've got stuck after i 've found the fourth glass filter. :)
Well done.
I started playing the original version but had to switch to the new, it's good you added the visual indication otherwise it's impossible to play like others said
Unfortunately I got stuck because the block I found under the pillow didn't appear in my inventory:(
but overall very good game, keep it up!
