Me encanto y me quede con las ganas de jugar otro día mas. Se ve muy bien y la calidad de los dibujos es espectacular, me quede trabado un poco con el puzle de la habitación de Aldous cuando consigues la afeitadora, pero aun así la pase muy bien jugándolo y espero los puzles del juego completo se mantengan así de interesantes e ingeniosos la verdad
El video esta en español ya que soy de Argentina

wonderful game!
Great demo really enjoyed it definitely looking forward to play more of your games
Thoroughly intrigued. I wait patiently, and studiously, for completion.
Love a good point and click game. Would love to learn more about the family! Looks simple in terms of art, but I don't mind. Also love the sort of depressing atmosphere of the game. Nice and simple.

As a huge Cube Escape and Rusty Lake fan I was pleased to see another chapter in this universe!
Great story, and plenty of fun puzzles!
I've only just discovered this series, and I'm immediately hooked! I like the tone and atmosphere a lot, though the scary elements took me by surprise, haha. I can't wait to check out the others you've made! Keep up the great work!!I need this on mobile 😔🥹

Looks very interesting, but the installer looks for space forever. Couldn´t install it.
Not sure if I'm just.. stupid but I couldn't find my way inside...
Congratulations, I think it's a very interesting game, the graphics are fantastic.
Adore the demo so far, but i do rly hope the puzzles in the full game are a bit harder!! ♥

You're my favourite developer!! I know it's just the demo, but the puzzles are far too easy..
