I liked the mood and the audio. I wasn't able to figure out how to get out (I also didn't take notes :( )

- graphics look functional
- music is cool
- puzzle seems intriguing
- doesn't appear to fit the theme
- platforming mechanics is not great. even with amazing platforming it would still be kind of chore when I'd rather focus on solving the puzzle
- even with all the info in front of me I think I'd still have trouble solving it
- after playing for 10 minutes i still have no clue how to solve the puzzle
- maybe would help simplify to get rid of the lines and just use the symbols themselves?
- i have to throw in the towel having made no progress
Music is cool, but I the graphics are a little bit too simple, and also I did not understand very well the connection with theme, actually, the connection is very weak.
It was not theme related and you went WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyy... too slow. In other words, i didn't like it that much. sorry.
Music is wonderful. There is a bug in the collision detection, though. When I jumped from the very top right corner, I must have fallen so fast that the player got stuck in the middle of a tile. I thought I had the puzzle sequence figured out based on the clues, and tried the order a few ways, but couldn't figure it out.
I made notes! My solution: 31542. But this was not accepted.
Great idea. But too difficult.
@ALobker
That should have been accepted, I just tried it myself. The numbers have to point to the arrow, which I assume you did as the game tells you to do so. Perhaps you put them in the opposite order?
Couldn't solve it! I liked the atmosphere and mystery though.
I like the sound and the whole theme. The mystery is really nice and the puzzle seems challenging. I have a really good idea on how to solve it but the slow movement is quite annoying. Also the note taking is maybe offputting. Good job!

Loved the creepy atmosphere you were able to create with the tablets and music. i liked how much story you were able to convey with simple symbols and mysterious sentences. I actually enjoyed how it required taking notes. It made it feel like I was an archaeologist puzzling and discovering this all together from the pieces we found. I appreciate the audio you put in especially with the sliding dial. Overall really great and satisfying game. Thank you so much for making this!
