I like the surreal vibes. The marker aesthetic is a nice touch. It would be nice if the later keys needed more than one step to obtain. It was a bit too straightforward to solve.

As someone who grew up on rusty lake I LOVED this!!!

Interesting game! I think the UI might have a bit of a scaling issue though, there was a box in the middle of the screen with all the navigation and inventory stuff, about 1/5 the size of the screen. Still managed to play though, and I love the art in there! Great work!

I'm voting a 5 on graphics and I really hope you place high there because these are amazing. Major kudos.
I did not "get" the game?I haven't played rusty lake so maybe the references were lost on me, but Most of the interactions seemed reasonable.

Я играл во все или почти все игры Rusty Lakes ещё на Kongregate. У тебя прям точь-в-точь как у них вышло, мне очень понравилось! И игра очень целостная вышла, как будто мини-история, очень классно ^_^

This was fun! Really loved the hand drawn element of it. The spinning wheel with the locks was cool too.
Got a laugh out of me helping the pigeon out. The music loop was great - all round just dug the vibe!

it wasn't intuitively clear what to do at the very beginning, but after a minute things started to go. The music is very cool, and the dove made me smile once again, respect

I love hand-drawn graphics but I find that it lacks feedback on where you click and why... a changing cursor, a sound... something to put the player on the right track... and since I haven't played Rusty Lake, I probably lack a reference.

Simple and quick puzzle game with a distinctive art style.

Other than the UI scaling for fullscreen/4K monitors everything seems to work great.

Nice job!

Funny beginning, unfortunately the Interface was broken and i only played until i had the bottle. Then i could not click the room button anymore. Will come back to see if it was fixed.

I really enjoyed the art and the music. This was a short and sweet puzzle game. I liked how the appearance outside of the window changed as you turned the wheel to give the feeling of ascending from the depths. Nice job!

Yes, getting out of some where means deep.

I enjoyed the game, great job! The mechanics are reminiscent of good old FranBow. The ending was satisfying. You're awesome too dude :)

The audio really fits the psychological depth. I missed a bit of a feedback of clicking or hovering things and some items just hid a great portion of my (little) screen - like e.g. the bottle. But overall quite good for a gamejam :)

Nice game! I think making it more difficult would've been ok.
