I like the concept a lot though I found it quite difficult to actually win. Like, guarding myself with doors was fine but in terms of the actual puzzles I really felt like I was just clicking random things (I got a flashlight or something at one point? but I had no clue how to use it). This could just be a skill issue though, everything was put together super solidly so I'm sure the solutions are good if I could find them.
oh wait yeah after reading the comments i realized i also didnt open the safe, i just inferred the rest of the word puzzle. may have to investigate further.
Edit: ok tried it again and got through all the puzzles as intended. couple of things i noticed:
- there's no sprite for just the screwdriver head, so opening the toolbox and getting the screwdriver doesnt let you open the vent unless you also happen to click the pot
- you can get the scissors again by clicking on the box after using them
- the safe had me a bit confused because i tried starting by going right, since that's the direction you turn dials on combination locks. but i did get it eventually, and to be fair the numbers go in the right direction anyway. (i just now realized what the colors are meant to mean, while writing out a bad suggestion)
- sometimes i get stuck in a weird state where the screen stays blank but i can still get killed. every 5th or so try i just have to sit and wait until it decides to let me play.
otherwise, the rest of the puzzles were also good!
