@iozsaygi Thx a lot. Hope you have enjoyed it ^^
Surprised this game hasn't gotten more attention yet. This game feels like the most polished LD game I've played so far. It is challenging but you do have all the tools you need to complete each puzzle. Personally, I found having to look at the sides of the box from an angle to actually be kinda annoying and it hurt my eyes a little but It's a stylistic choice so I didn't let it affect my score. Actually a great game that I think people would pay good money for if maybe.. I dunno.. the box expanded into other boxes or became this huge thing. It's a cool game. Kinda like "Please, Don't Touch Anything" but with more boxes.
Pretty fun, i got up to the last screenshot, i'm kinda bad at those kind of games
@n0ught234 To be honest the game is based on "The Room". I have already made a prototype when I find the "PDTA" and it was surprisingly to see the same puzzles. Thanks for your feedback! :D
@shared Thx с:
You tried my game so I definitely tried yours !
It's a very nice game, good looking, reminds me a bit of "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" but for a single player, and that's kind of a concept !
Good job, very polished :) You can be proud ^^
am I dumb? Yes. And I still think this is awesome! really cool work!
@coachsisyphus Oh yeah :D
Definitely an interesting LD entry! Good job! Looks very polished and had me clicking about trying to solve it. I enjoyed it! :)
@washingmachinae Thx ^^
I'm not very smart, so I didn't make it far. The graphics are great and the game seems very challenging, nice job!
Looks and feels great, and very interesting gameplay! Good job!
I can't get past the first bit! I know that I need 4 numbers, I have 4 numbers, but I can't figure out what order to type them in. :( I love games like this though so I will KEEP GOING
(really though can I have a hint, I'm losing my mind here.)
@kristinamay I have forgotten to add an arrow on the door. Digit you see inside the door is first. Hope you will try to solve it ;)
Ah great! I swear I tried that exact thing so many times, but once I refreshed the page and tried again with new numbers, it worked. Thanks, gonna keep playing now. :D
@clemonades @iconocatstudio Thx you a lot c:
Perfect! One of my favority type of games!
Gah! It's 2 am, and I REALLY need to get some sleep, but this puzzle is keeping me up! ASDFLKGKALKSH!
I got the first cipher paper, but now I can't seem to figure out what to do... I'll need to play this tomorrow before I grade it fully. Seems I suck at these sort of games...
@keseril You are welcome :)
@justinooncx I have to do it easier instead :D
At the first sight of the cover I knew I would like it. Got stuck at the order of the numbers. After I see the hint from the comments I made it all through. Really like the SFX and graphics!
Very clever concept. Graphics and gameplay are so smooth! Great work!
really unique concept for the game
Interesting, creative concept. A little frustrating if one runs out of ideas but very rewarding to finally find the solution.
FINALLY, I solved it, and I can finally give a review and grade it accordingly. I needed to check if it was stupidity on my end or bad design, but the fact that I cleared it eventually proves it was the former. A game like this has to be very careful about feedback, though.... I spent a good chunk of my time tapping on that panel because it made a sound, and it took me some testing to figure out I didn't need to hit the individual boxes inside. Because this is the sort of game that forces you to reach for solutions, distractions should be kept to a minimum.
Still, it achieved what it set out to do! Well done! I just hope that that message at the end is really the last puzzle there is, and that there isn't more hiding somewhere.... I'm paranoid as hell now!
I hate those kind of games because it's looks like "modern art". You need to browse the creators mind to solve all the stuff, cause there's a many ways of "quest" logic. Dunno, it look pretty voxel, but i can't beat first puzzle. Am i dumb? :D
@decappoolla @charitosdev @nachtwitch @nocity Hope you enjoyed it. Thx for your opinions!
@justinooncx You are very persistent. It's very hard now, cause I didn't have time to add the hints. I'm doing a dialogue system and a plot to solve these complications and make the game more mystical. I'll consider all your observations to make it more playable. I'm so glad. Best wishes^^
@azamatika It's just so hard now. It's very important to me to read all the feedbacks and make the game playable for most players. Thx!
Tried it yesterday and failed.. but today i finally solved it!:) It was really hard, but made me absolutely happy!) The fun part is - I solved it by coincidence. Just accidentally typed this very last code. But then I reverse engineered it, and, yeah, I should have guessed) Cool box design, riddles feels like belonging to it. A bit too complicated to me. Wheels sensitivity on the inner box may be a little misleading.
Cool game. It does remind me of the room which you said is inspiration. I accidentally solved the last two puzzles though lol.
Really cool game :) the puzzles are super clever and it controls smoothly, it's great!
I finally solved it, and it took me soooo-soooo long. But nonetheless I quite liked tinkering with this tricky little box. To my taste it needs just a tiny bit more handholding to be at a most enjoyable state. Like for example I nearly restarted the game when it all went to black and told me to press F to pay respects, but F key did nothing. Luckily I randomly clicked here and there and found out that the keypad was still working, and I just picked up the combination by going through all of them. And only then I realized that I needed to use the cipher list and do a DOUBLE CONVERSION.
So yeah, besides some moments when I felt utterly lost, this was a welcome brain melting experience.
What a great puzzle, everthing had more of less sense, graphics and music where beautiful... only thing that annoyed me was that it's always 90degree flip, and sometimes it felt like game difficulty came from that it was harder to read... i would prefer to have 100% control move the rotation
overall very good game : )
@kamuniaft @cpokered @savvy-community I'm so happy. Thx you all^^
@detectivelosos Thx for your feedback. I'll ad some hints and dialogs to do it easier and more predictable. But I don't want to overload it or do it very simple, so I'll try to keep game's difficulty and its mystery. Thx you a lot for playing it :)
@demuss I don't want to change this specific rotation, but I agree with bad readability, so I'll make text interaction easier and more playable. Thx!
Dang it, I couldn't solve it. I WILL try again, but for now I need to take a break! Great game!
Interesting gameplay! Liked the sounds and graphics!
Currently my favorite game of the jam! The puzzles could use a little work with visual clarity but the overall concept and puzzles themselves are really good. I could see you continuing with this as a full game for iOS! Good job, I'm upset I didn't think of this haha
Пытался час понять, что значит ATBASH, переводил его, что только с ним не делал, оказалось, что просто не с той стороны смотрел на счётчик, он показывает в начале лишнюю цифру:smile: Годнота! Пока самое интересное, что видел на джеме. З.Ы. Шрифт бы покрупнее чуть-чуть, тяжеловато читалось.
Это замечательная игра с хорошими звуками, головоломками и интересной концепцией! Но шрифт настолько не разборчивый (по крайней мере, в веб-версии), что пришлось воспользоваться увеличенными скриншотами :D

Но в любом случае это прекрасный игровой опыт! Отличная головоломка!
@betelgeuseman Спасибо за отзыв! Да, текст надо будет сделать более читабельным, особенно в веб ;)
Nice concept ! I Really love your design and your puzzle design!
Great puzzle game. Reminded me of the escape room point and click I used to play online.
Good game!
Wow wow wow. How come I didn't play this one earlier ? This is my new favorite for this jam. So clever and well done. Please make some more like this. Love !
@rroni @dodelov @kevin-ray @clvp @coisne-nathan @yhi @franciszek-pyrc @ferdi Thx you all! Hope you enjoyed it^^
Great puzzle game, i need to come back to get further. I am a great fan of The Room, so this is perfect for me. Puzzle games are always fun! One of my favorites so far, doesnt matter that i am stuck naerly the beginning at the moment. Clever puzzles :)
Really enjoyed this! Takes me back to escape room and puzzle flash games. Awesome submission!
This was very clever and fun! Nice!
This is such a cool game, like a cross between Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes and Please Don't Touch Anything, I really enjoyed it. The presentation is very polished and gameplay is interesting. I will say that the perspective was a bit annoying and made reading things somewhat difficult, and I wasn't able to get too far into it, but I was impressed!
@raomer @rams3160 @brokenmirrormedia Thx a lot ^^
