I sloved 1st and 3rd puzzles but then got stuck on the computer. Btw 3rd puzzle was still red after solving..

love the setting and piano is very calming for puzzle games that are not easy to solve haha

Overall nice atmosphere and interesting puzzles - second puzzle was marked as completed although I haven't solved it :D

@kontroman @timshakh If you can't move, press Escape for the pause menu, go back to main menu and play again. You can then skip the puzzles you did. The bullets are bugged, but a fun thing to do with them is see how high in the air you can go :)) @whywhy @mia-143 there wasn't time to implement a game state/save. So when you solve a puzzle nothing is marked as such. The terminal you move into that opens the puzzle has a few animation frames. So the red you see is not connected to the puzzle being solved or not. I see now how that is confusing. Thank you all for playing!

I really dig the puzzles in this! The art has a cool style and the music surprisingly uplifting for a noir story. It makes for a very chill puzzle experience. It took me a while to figure out the second one and the music really added the experience while I was fiddling about

I don't usually like puzzles but I really enjoyed these ones! It was challenging but not too much, which is great for a game jam! I enjoyed the art and the atmosphere. Congrats for your entry :)

Pretty neat, but the puzzle was super hard and I feel pretty stupid trying (and failing) to solve even the first door. I think it'd be better to go with simpler versions initially, to let the user build up their knowledge of how to solve the future puzzles.

Btw who did the audio? The music is lovely!
