I really wanted to give a favorable review since it was an innovative try with interactive voice overs. But unfortunately it lags too much and/or the controls are too wobbly to get by. I really like the concept though. I feel like a game like this polished and fleshed out can result in something - something like Stanley Parable for example.

The game shows promise but I found it difficult to select some of the objects, I'm not that good with riddles too. But overall great work with the sound, script, and narration.

Thanks guys. @twowolf - Can I ask what browser/device were you on? I haven't seen lag on my phone or PC yet.

Interesting idea, found it engaging enough to see all the way through. However, it was a bit hard to select items at times because of the small hitboxes and inverted camera controls on pc. At times, when I couldn't figure out the riddle immediately, it became an effort of just checking every item until something worked. Narration sets the mood very well. Overall nice work! :)

I love riddles, so this was right up my street. The voiceover really added to the atmosphere. It felt like playing the intro to the Twilight Zone.

Im not that good with riddle so I was locked after (played 2-3 by getting the answer, 2-3 by pointing random elements until I found and then was locked). The game is pretty cool with nice graphics and sounds.

I had some difficulties pointing small objects like the apple or the bulb so increasing their hitboxes or making them move less would make the interaction easier (it was not laggy, just their movement resetted the focus)

Really original game and I loved the riddles even if im bad at it

As others have mentioned the seclection is difficult especially on the knife and the light bulb, since they are thin and rotate a bigger collision box would probably do the trick :)

I got stuck since I didn't find the object for the "kill and kill" riddle. The laughter is great, the voice in general actually :D And I like the music, especially the low notes, they have a nice vibrato on them :)

That's a cool concept ! The item selection system makes moving objects very hard to select, but the riddles are well written and the last two are quite clever ! well done :)

This was a pretty neat game. Some of the smaller items were really hard to select. The voice acting was great.

Love the idea! The game looks very great and I love the voice acting.. it really adds a great atmosphere.

Only issue is pointing at small objects, but still amazing. Nice job :)
