Solution to finish the game

OK LET'S GO

You're one of four dead children that perished in a swamp. You have to make your peace to be able to go to the great beyond in an escape-room like fashion. You only have ten seconds to do so, but your progress is kept between attempts to let you progress.

First, take the small torch at your right on your starting position (with E or Spacebar) and light the fire in the chimney on the far-left side of the first room. In the down right corner, you can find a key that opens the door on the upper wall. The library on the right wall looks like it can move but does not open from this side Dark-Souls style.

In the second room, the door is kept shut because it's too old, you have to grease it. To do so, go find the butter in the fridge (top left corner), melt it in the oven right by the fridge and apply it on the door on the right-most wall.

In the third room you have to remember a lullaby by finding music notes. To do so, you have to follow some invisible footsteps that are made visible by blacklight. Go to the down right corner to shut down the normal light and enable the blue light, letting you follow the bloody footsteps. There's a G-Key to take in the down left corner, a note in the middle of the room, one in the top-left corner and finally one in front of the piano. Approach the piano to play the lullaby and open the door to the final room.

In the final room you can open a shortcut to the first room by pushing the library open on the left wall. You then have to light the candles in a correct order. You can find said order by noticing that the color of each candle is the color of the cap of your friends you found in each room:

1. In room one, you find a green cap in the top-left corner; light the top-left green candle first.
2. In room two you find a blue cap on a create in the top-right corner; light the top-right blue candle second.
3. In room three, it's a yellow cap you find at the bottom of the room; light the final yellow candle at the bottom of the last room next.

Finally, YOU have to stand in the middle of all of them to be able to join them in death, peacefully. End the loop in the middle of the final room's chalk drawing on the floor where the red cap stands to unlock the end.
