I have no idea what you're supposed to do on the bloody pipes puzzle. I could've sworn I had a valid solution but kept turning them and eventually got it. Pretty fun, cool idea with the "minigames". Not sure if it was supposed to be sad or funny or disturbing but I found it all three.

Almost forgot about the xylophone puzzle: I think it doesn't matter how fast you click them, just that they're in the right order, but it's really hard to tell where the "start" of the sequence is. Maybe that's the point.

Link to the Windows build works. The graphics and animations are great! That nun was super creepy. Was a little confused by the teddy-bear-xylophone challenge, though---I couldn't find and click the colours that fast! Definitely an interesting submission. Nice job!

Nice art style and mood. The xylophone puzzle was pretty difficult, and I was confused at first because orange and red looked so similar, couldn't tell them apart when the lights were changing fast.

Really pretty art and loved the animations. I enjoy clicker puzzle games and the subtle xylophone start indicator was challenging to find but felt good once you got it (: awesome job

Cool game! The art was phenomenal! The puzzles were tougher than I expected, but fun. Looking forward to your full game release on steam!

Those animations are amazing. If you are planning on developing it further maybe pitch the xylophone? I feel like it would feel more responsive and hold people's attention

Nice art style. Xylophone puzzle is a bit to quick for me.

great art. Went straight to the xylophone puzzle and since I didn't know the rules found it difficult to follow.

Totally lost on the xylophone. :/ Seems like a cool game, I wish I could have finished that game or left it and come back later.

I really liked the art style and mood and wanted to enjoy the game more. Echoing what @nathan-wash said above, I got frustrated with the bloody pipes puzzle. I tried numerous combinations that seemed like they should work, and lost interest because there was not an obvious way to exit and go to other mini games.

great game! +1 for Godot, and it does work in Opera browser. too bad we can't rate the art and music

The xylophone game was a bit hard, and the minigames would hang once completed, but I absolutely loved the art style and environment!

@brokenmirrormedia Thanks for the comment!
The "hang once completed" issue is because i didn't have time to add a load animation

the game failed to load in the web browser, I downloaded the windows version.

The art style is amazing, I love it, pretty dark. the mouse is adorable.
very nice work on the walking if felt really good!

a bit of background music would have really helped set the atmosphere, but maybe the silence was supposed to be part of the creepiness?

The minigames are really good!
I liked the part with the nun XD very creepy, the pipes took a lot of time, I'm still not sure what I was supposed to do with the xylophone minigame, but it was fun trying to follow along the colors.

You totally nailed the mood, I would totally play a longer version of a game like this, great work!

@cyberstarlight thanks for the feedback! it does have music, it seems that in the windows version is broken. I already fixed the failed to load thing on itchio

Well, that was creepy. Dang, the audio, the visuals, everything was blended nicely to create such a creepy atmosphere. The only jarring part (at least for the web build) was that whenever a cutscene was going to begin, the sound glitched and repeated like 20 times, and the game froze, which took me out of the experience, but it was pretty fun!

I really liked the game from the beginning on. Maybe it would have been cool if there was some mysterious background music... but that's just a small thing. The graphic is neat- especially the writing is super cool and fits to the whole game. Nice! I had problems finding the solution for those bloody pipes though... couldn't solve that sadly and didn't know how to return to the game... the other minigame (with the xylophone) was much fun though. Great idea! Very nice game :-)

Pretty nice game, love the artstyle and managed to finish it. Issue with playing on the phone was, that I could not see the next button. Aside from that: Nice story, creepy nun and as mentioned great art. Love it!

Awesome game with a really cool art style! I love the creepy vibe and the puzzles were challenging. Took me a while to figure out the bloody pipes as well as the order of the xylophone game, but I was able to beat it. Great work! :)

Whoooah. The game strikes a nice balance between being simple yet unsettling. If I had one suggestion, I would say the nun section doesn't need a game over screen, just a fade out/in would be sufficient.
