The controls are maybe a bit too slippery, but other than that, a really well done entry!
Art is really cute and well done, the music is relaxing and the puzzles are well done. The back-and-forth interaction is cool and the small bits of text are well thought out to steer mechanics :)
Who doesn't love some dramatic organ pipes!

-: Had to look into the comments to figure out the last level, was about to give up. The controls, moving in a grid would fit better here.
Great job!
Also, that's a *dark* ending, bold stuff :D
The music was excellent and the death animation cracked me up!
The puzzles are really well done.
The sound didn't work on firefox, but worked on chrome, I don't know why.
I really liked the music coming in after the first door sound effect, it felt intense
Like others said, the controls felt a bit slippery (and I wish I had a key to run faster), and locking player movement when using the clock could avoid being transported again when arriving. You can also put crate outside the levels
That was some really great sense of drama. I would like to see what you guys can do on a horror game
I was stuck for 3 minutes like @ondy1985, I hadn't thought of the mechanics of carrying the body in the past.
EDIT: Forgot to mention the controls, they were a bit slippery, as other people have mentioned, but I was relaxed enough while playing, that it didn't really affect me. I like the general ominous feel of the game before the end, as well
@adil Maybe we will :)
@zessirb Unfortunately there is currently only one ending.
@esphoros I'm delighted that you liked the music, I haven't composed very much, but I'm proud of this one!
Also, yeah the controls are a bit off, I'll have to keep that in mind for the next time.
If you want some ***technical feedback***, I found three bugs:
- After walking into the clock and hitting space, the text appears after the player travels through timespace.

- When you put the box on the floor near the wall, you can sometimes walk off the map (but can't go back, haha).

- I don't know what happened, but the clock to the future disappeared (I could still interact with it, just the image wasn't there).

After I got the idol a painting showed up and the screen froze I don't if it's a bug or I completed the game.
@fadrikalexander I'm happy you enjoyed it, also that's the ending of the game.
