I’m not sure why I can’t open your game. Maybe it’s an issue with the Ludum Dare website.

The art style is truly captivating, and the game description is perfectly clear! Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the game to launch on my end. I'd absolutely love to play it once it's fixed!

Enjoyed the game, loved the artstyle. However I had to end at some point as the puzzles got too difficult for me :sweat_smile:

很美丽的画风，在走廊里除了翻相框之外好像找不到其他操作提示了，希望能增加一个解密提示的按钮，但总的来说还是很喜欢这种解谜的风格🥰🥰🥰

I didn't succeed to complete the game, I was too lost on some puzzle. By I like the main idea and overwhole style! The oppening sequence in pixel art is stunning! I still understand how I pass some puzzle tho. (I end up block on the "SPACE" puzzle. I see the order, but where and how I should use "space" on it is lost on me...)
Cool game even if it beat me!

@emmma nice - although I would've loved to see the actual reasoning for the orders (why the painting are in a certain order per level), I can't quite figure that out from the video :/

I'm impressed. It probably took me an hour to solve all the puzzles, but it was worth it! A cool script and challenging tasks.

I really liked this one! Loved the art and the music and the mood and story was well executed. The puzzles had a nice difficulty ramp and I really appreciated the red to yellow to green of the light as you got closer to the right solution.

Really great entry! Thanks for the game!

The art and sound is great
And the riddles make you think, especially after 4 rooms.

Loved the artwork & music, but once there were no more markings on the back of the photos I had no idea how to order them. Started watching the walkthrough but it didn't explain the logic behind the solutions. Great mood though!
