Absolutely brilliant game idea. And well executed too - a classic case of "why didn't I think of this?!". Well done!

Damn, this is one of my favourites so far! Looks good, sounds good, draws you in - it has it all. Liked the ending, too, the mood was perfect. It's not too hard to solve and didn't take long, which in my oppinion gives it the benefit of keeping the suspense instead of getting boring at some point. Really well done!

Short and sweet... Well not exactly sweet haha, especially that ending. I love the concept, and the execution is very clean. Really great job.

Certainly a very original idea. I suddenly discovered that I like hunting for clues in dessicated corpses. Mad respect for putting the lighting system together.

I am impressed by the originality of the idea! The goal is very clear and the entertainment, also thanks to the mood, is strong even for me who usually don't like this kind of games. Very good!

Goodness. Fantastic game. I actually would like more of that. Y'all need to play some games so more people kind find yours and rate it. Lord knows, you deserve all the ratings you can get :)

Very original and innovative with a really strong atmosphere! This could work great as a puzzle, and would easily be one of the most memorable parts, in a horror game.

Hello Nusan. What a good game with an amazing aesthetic and a freaky mood. You did a big amount of work on shaders - and I know that you are a master in this subject. I had fun playing and I found the full sentence. The main mechanics reminds me this sequence in the first BladeRunner when Deckert search some clues inside Leon's pictures, zooming and focusing on some details. Very good. The way you managed the theme was very clever and totally unusal. As usual, you did a solid entry - one of my favorite projects for this 48th LudumDare session. Thank you. I wish you the best ++

Simple but great aesthetics, I feel like it's something that deserves a place in a bigger game (kinda like a mini game). Nice job!

A very unusual and unique take on the theme. The visuals are insanely great, I loved them. I picture it as a cool little mini-game in a large-scale mystery project. Well done!

That was a truly unique experience :) However, I did try to play the game multiple times, but every time I gave up because I was basically lost and had no idea where to start. The lack of guidance at the very beginning is quite harsh and I don't think that it adds much to the overall quality of the experience. I was lucky enough on my last try to find something interesting and manage to get some actual answer from my colleague, but that completely out of luck.

Agree with commentators higher - very atmospheric, would like to see something like this as small game.

Impressively polished visuals! I was able to solve it in good time - the addition of the arrows for the torch part was helpful. Great horror game moment with the "go see what's happening" line. But what if I don't want to? Haha. I found the controls a tad clunky. I think the addition of right-click drag to rotate would have been good, making the game fully playable with the mouse
