Thanks for providing a Mac build (had problems with webgl for some reason).

I won in 8 mins. About perfect for a ludem dare game. We made similar types of games. :)
All the mechanics were easy to use. Puzzles made sense. Good design.
I don't know what's going on with that couch. but when i look at it, it tanks my framerate. Probably super high poly or dense textures. It make it super hard to find the key.
Other than that I'd also making clicking in web gl hide the mouse, I had to go read the note to rehide it after pressing the windows key. Overall good work :)

@ben-parisi Yeah, I think I used a bit too many vertices for the couch :D I might try to decimate it for a post-jam release

@juhani-koskinen I wouldn't be shy about fixing it now. Seems like a reasonable post deadline edit.

Thanks for the fun little puzzle game. Also just want to say was a bit nervous from the dark room but thank you for not making it a horror game. I played it in web and it seemed to work well though that couch would make it studder a bit. other then that the game worked smoothly I finished it in about 6 1/2 minutes but that is because I was trying to use the couch to see if there was stuff on the bookcase. (there isn't.)

Thanks for the fun game have a good day!

This was pretty cool!

Thank you for not including any jump scares, it was great to have a purely puzzle-logic escape room!

I liked the mood + added challenge of having to use the flashlight. The puzzles were very simple but did not overstay their welcome. I liked the change in puzzle entry/interaction controls for each one!

If I had to nitpick, there are a few minor bugs: The phone gets an i key input when viewed, and the code entry for the digits is not clear on how many numbers can be entered. But a little fiddling got me past both pretty easily. For an LD Compo entry this is quite fine!

You even added sound effects for everything. I also appreciated that the objects stop allowing interacting to "eliminate themselves from the puzzle space" once they are "used". It's a very nice touch that let me focus on what I hadn't used yet.

It felt good to click the clues + puzzle entry methods together. Thanks for the little escape room! :smile_cat:

5 minutes and 54 seconds! There were a few mouse / control issues with the web build (I didn't try the other builds). Game was short and sweet, and it felt like I always had some direction. The line of masks were a super cool visual.

An escape room is a pretty neat take on the theme! The puzzles were a good level of difficulty I think, not too hard or easy. Overall it was fun! I did have some control issues, for whatever reason the camera was constantly moving to the right? Not sure if it was the build I used (web) but other than that great job!

Thank you for not making it a horror game. I saw the flashlight and felt my anxiety climbing thinking that there might be a jumpscape. Luckily there warn't. The puzzles were good, not to easy but doable, the sounds were nice, only element was the couch that made my PC lag a bit.
A good project you have here ! GG for putting it up !
