The movement speed is definitely a little tedious, as is the lack of any feedback about how close I am to actually finishing clearing out the shed. As a result, I didn't actually finish it, though I tried it a few times.

What I'm most impressed by is the atmosphere, especially considering the sparse visuals and gameplay. I felt a genuine sense of dread and desperation playing this, wondering whether the next thing I pulled out of the shed would be the trap that I need. I think it's a combination of the dual timers (DOUBLE the stress!) and the tight spaces to maneuver in. It's a pretty claustrophobic game, especially as I fill up the area with more pieces of wood (it's wood, right?)

This just needs a bit of polish, but I think the core concept is great.

I didn't manage to finish, got a dozen or so items out though, neat idea, very interesting premise, maybe there's another hook that could make the gameplay more interesting, but I can't think of one offhand.

I played this on stream at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/143780402 - time 0:19:00
