Creepy! I liked it!

I like the art style, everything visually fits really nicely together. I also like your concept of "lots of detail in one room and let the player walk around and explore it"

I came across a few typos: "I don't know how (you) can sit there with that thing starting (staring?) at you"

I'm happy to say this is the first LD Game (so far) that I have played through to completion! To help future players, the clue indicates an object that you have to click on to proceed.

That Easter egg song was hilarious! Nice entry and I enjoyed the clue based puzzles and quizzes.

A very nice game! The theme is so nice in the game. The audio goes so well with the gameplay too. Like the puzzle solving aspect of the game. I felt so accomplished after finishing it! I got that song stuck in my head now "Stuck in room, Stuck in room..." :D . The atmosphere of the game was nice it really went with it. Overall a nice game. Keep it up!

I enjoy the concept of solving real-world trivia. Not many games do that anymore.

Sys reqs would be nice. Even with all other programs closed, on my machine with 4 GB RAM I'm told I don't have enough memory, so I can't play. Maybe make the resolution adjustable?

Hey, I liked your game it was actually fun.
You can improve the audio and the graphics at some point but overall not bad!

Had a nice atmosphere to it. Would like to have seen puzzles that used, and were based on, the objects in the room rather than just general knowledge questions, which don't feel well integrated with the rest of the experience.

A very nice game! Sadly an "escape the room" usage of the One Room theme is nothing new, so 3 stars for innovation and theme. But it was VERY fun! 5 stars for that!

Very interesting, well made game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/1nLjn2-nhmQ
