Your game starts at 05:18. Fantastic work! The setting was haunting and eerie and a good size. A common misstep is making the setting so large that exploring it is a chore and you did not do that.  The story progressed at a good pace and the scares were timed very well as to keep things interesting.  The puzzle was a smart way to get us to investigate and jump scare us. We are looking forward to your next project.

Btw, while I'm the first one here, I'd like to tell you, Unknown X, that THIS GAME IS REAL -- a brilliant game. I'm really sad that people didn't find its secrets, didn't even try, mistaking it for a generic indie horror game. Plus, the atmosphere you've created is incredible! I can't even describe it accurately enough because it's completely unique. Thank you for THIS GAME IS REAL, it is a masterpiece in my opinion.
