Interesting little game about a heavy topic, art style is nice! The game is a little bit too easy to solve, it took me about 10 minutes to come to the end. Also I've encountered several bugs: - I can go outside of the "room" window, to the background. - After the last room(if you haven't solved all riddles) player appears again in the first room, but at this point it looks like you just stuck in it, timer is showing random time, and room is never ends.

I found it strange to have clue text in English, but the answers in the modal window на русском :)

Interesting use of the theme. It got a bit hard for me to get into the puzzles because of the switching of the setting every 10 seconds though. The dark art style fits the theme of your game.

Interesting game, it feels unfinished unfortunately and the download version was a bit buggy. I tried to play the browser version too but I'm not good enough with russian to read the answer text in the limited time :)

I liked the art a lot and how you tried to breach some heavy themes, the game has a great mood going for it. You should develop this further!

@steinuil, thanks for the feedback. Just wanted to ask: Have you tried downloading the PC file called (PcBildLookIn)? We changed the language there and fixed bugs that were in the release version. We had problems with creating a web version with English, so we managed to make a PC build with English.

@alexsolonnikovp4 yes I did, the text is in english and it doesn't have the bugs that Juss mentioned from what I've seen, but on my first playthrough I think I solved all of the puzzles but one of them (the one in the first room by the fish bowl, if I recall correctly) would reset after the 10 seconds were over, when I solved it it would show that I got 6 notes but they'd be back to 5 after the 10 seconds and it kept looping, with all the other puzzles locked except that one. After a while I closed the game and retried, on my second playthrough it went to the ending before getting all of the notes.

I like the take on the theme as well as the topics covered and the art is very beautiful. The game itself was a bit glitchy and hard at times to figure out what needed to be done.

The art style and mood are really nice on this one. Unfortunately the web version does only show cyrillic, which I cannot read, and the downloadable version seems bugged as @steinuil already mentioned. It seems that there is a riddle in the childrens room on the bear to the left in the web version which is not present in the downloadable one. All in all you made a nice looking game :)

First off the artstyle is really amazing and I'm impressed by the amount of detail that has been put into the game. Like the other players, I also encounter some bugs but overall I would say it's good effort!

Hi ! I just saw web version, with a little screen, russian texts and ends. The PC build is in english but big screen, the character very slow and no way to get an end. To say my proper experience.

The game and the idea seems good, by the way !

The art style looks great! However, there are a lot of bugs that seem to get in the way of completing the game.

You can soft-lock yourself regularly by getting one of the riddles wrong and then never being able to see the prompt again, and I think the first riddle (the one with 'time' as the answer) doesn't seem to save, so you keep losing the 'Si' note after the scene transitions.

I dig the concept somewhat, though the bugs I experienced make it hard to appreciate.

Art is amazing! Love the style and storytelling. You are also talking about important stuff through game witch is always cool. Unfortunately as others have said, bugs make it bit hard to play. I managed to play it to the end eventually!

I liked the point you had timer go down only when you move, so I was not in a hurry while I was standing still, but There was very little time to move trough the screen. I believe that with minor tweaks to the gameplay this would be a lot smoother experience!

First I should say, I can just read a little bit of cyrilic, I don't understand a word :smile: It was an interesting idea, when I was editing I recognized that the letters actually make a word, eventually got to the ending :slight_smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7J1-2cVqj4
