Hi dev! So I just played your game, I was so proud of myself for figuring the poem out XDDDD but then I got to the maze and there's an audio error. Kindly see the attached. May I know if I can somehow fix it?
Oh dear. That's definitely my fault, thank you for pointing it out! I seem to have forgotten to include an audio file in the update. Were you playing on the web version or one of the downloads? (the web version seems fine to me) If so, what operating system?
Edit: turns out the issue exists on all downloads, so it doesn't matter :D
I will just play the web browser then! Thanks kindly for responding!!
Edit: I see the downloadables have been updateed! I will proceed to the one I'm meant to be with. Thank you!
Sensational game!
I could not be more satisfied with the gameplay. It was fun, eerie, filled with puzzles, although the last one got me thinking (still am), yet the atmosphere was superb. Visuals and sound design definitely makes the game look pretty. This was exceptionally fantastic. Great Job!
Here is the gameplay, in case you need some additional feedback. Cheers 👌

Hi there! Thanks for playing! I have gotten quite a lot of feedback for that brewing puzzle specifically - I clearly didn't make the sign on the wall obvious enough haha. I'll probably switch it up to a gravestone design in the next build.
Good Game
Thank you for playing!
