Reminds me games i played when i was a child ^^ (oncle ernest saga :thumbsup: )
The design are beautiful and I really liked the atmosphere.
Thanks for that and bravo!
Good job !
I must admit, this sentence here truly left a lasting impression on me. 😊

Some observations I would add to this are that I found the sound to be quite low, particularly the music during the opening and closing cutscenes. It's a shame because the music is genuinely good. Perhaps it could be turned up a bit? I'm not sure if it's just me, but it seems quieter compared to other sounds here.
In the second puzzle, it was also challenging to figure out which horn belonged to which box, as there were more than one that looked quite similar. I believe there were two horns that resembled an "S" and two more that looked like a "5," or something along those lines.
In the dragonfly puzzle, it was the first time I had to use the hints, and that's when I realized all I had to do was listen. You can actually hear the sound of the dragonflies—I hadn't picked up on that before. 🐉🎧
sorry about the sounds, we forgot to mention in the tutorial that if you take a creature and then place it back on the table, the sound should stop. it's really helpful that you've mentioned that!
regarding the sounds — yeah we struggled a bit to tune it as it was pretty much before the deadline...will fix it later, hopefully :)
as for the horns, there are two types of them are that very similar on purpose, maybe that was too harsh, especially for the second puzzle! sorry about that :blush:
Lovely atmosphere, overall great entry.
A really artistic entry with simple, yet effective storytelling, great job!
To solve beetles puzzle you need to place beetles in the spots that will fit with the patterns on their backs. Patterns won't be repeated 1-1, but you will see that beetle fits there.
i enjoyed the game and its story a lot!
beautiful game, great job guys

Thought that the music could be a little louder - I realize it's atmospheric, and you don't want it to drown out the later sounds, but I found it a bit distracting, kind of straining myself to hear it.
I would have preferred to be able to drag the bugs out of the box instead of having to right-click on them - I found myself doing that, even knowing better, because it felt more intuitive to me.
