Congratulations Dave!

Great writing, mysterious plot, a touch of humour, and some "doh! of course" puzzles.
Highly recommended.

My only complaint is that it's just part one!

Download and enjoy,

Just downloaded and started playing.

So far it looks very good. I like the interface - very simple and easy to use. The rooms are very nicely drawn. The story is very good and mysterious.

I will write more when I progress.

BTW, the music in the library is also in my game, "Conspiracy of Songo" in the hotel. I bet you borrowed it from Bjorn Lynne's web site, right?

Really nice game Dave! It has great atmosphere, great graphics and awe music. Like the part where you're reading the letters; the creepy music in the backgrounds made it very eery :) I'm off to play it some more!

Wow!! THIS GAME IS AWESOME!! Really nice graphics and a GREAT story! I'm at the moment at the beginning of Day2, so I just began at the adventure, but I now already like it alot!!

I just found one little spelling fault, you might want to fix. While you are talking to the psychologist or something at Day1, he says at a certain dialog "100 Percect", and I think this should be "100 Percent" ;)

Again very very nice game. I hope you release more of the game soon!

Great game!

Have yet to finish it, though, am puttering away in Day 2. I love the dialogs! They really help to bring the characters alive.

Also, was the high diction that the doctor used intentional? I noticed how his speech was subtly different from that Rosa and the others spoke.

Oh great!
A game that might steal the ags awards I had hoped to win with my secret project.
Seriously though, a great game.

Well spotted, Fididido.  :)  Just about all the music is borrowed from Mr. Lynne.  The theme music and the "Rosa's apartment" music were made by our very own Archangel.

Darnit. I made this edit to my post right after you posted, so I'd better post it loose, before you forget I asked. :)

Was the high diction that the doctor used intentional? I noticed how his speech was subtly different from that Rosa and the others spoke. More... academic.

Yep.  I tried to give everyone their own style of talking.  The doc is very academic and professional.

Are there voices in this game.  All I hear is music.

And I am stuck on day 2.

Spoiler

Great game! I'd like some help though.
Spoiler
I've search the doctor's files and used the whistle on the dog but I don't know what to do when the artist walks towards the dog, or with what I've found in the files.
