This is a magnificent game, and I only had time to play the first two levels of it. But I will go back and finish it, because it made me want to play it fully, not just evaluate it <3. The audio design and implementation is top notch. For accessibility I would have the dark not so dark (ideally there'd be a gamma setting, but given that this is a jam game I totally get why not). Love the atmosphere, love the music puzzles, although that's frankly pandering to all my weak spots :). The writing leaves me wanting more. Overall, amazingly done.
I wish I was a better keyboard/mouse PC gamer because I think I would have fared better in this game if I had been 😁 . As it is, I found the controls frustrating and could not advance at all, but that is strictly a me problem. I still had fun looking around; the world is very nicely designed and I like the variety. Also, you won my heart automatically by counting a recorder as "treasure" 😃 . Nice music, too---I'd prefer it a bit softer but again, that's me.
Very creative take on the theme. Feeling around the dumpster felt surprisingly satisfying. The audio was very simple but perfect for what it needs to be. The only complaint I have is starting from the first level when you fail a level, but as short a game as it is, I can't really complain _too_ much :) .
