There seems to be nothing you can do with ahything. Are you sure this game is complete?

Well I came to the "Your Free" screen, so I suppose I made it. I don't know what I did though...

Spoiler
I made a head right? Still had it in the inventory after putting it on the pillow though (maybe you fixed that for the second version). What was the black pixels which I escaped with? Where did they come from?

Might be a good idea to give things names and descriptions, I had no idea what everything was...

If you used the eyeglass in the Inventory you can see what everything is .
Not sure what that was so will take a look .
Fixed the bugs .

Hi,

I'm using fixed version,

After putting head on pillow, there seems to be nothing to pick up or interact.

There is some grid left of bed but cannot interact with including door or picture.

I'm glad that you built items (smaller pictures thought)!

Ok, I've done and finish the game.

It was extremely difficult in locating such thing.

Therefore, In your future games, I recommend that you add that something has been added to inventory when click on right place with the hand on something that small. Otherwise, how anyone know?

Good luck.

It should be easy to find things as the icons turn red when you move over an object or hotspot ?

Here's some things you should consider looking into:

- Make the player aware of what the point of the game is.
- Try to add at least SOME text when you look at items in-game.
- You have to pixel hunt the pillow to find the spoon but aren't told when you actually pick it up? I clicked on the pillow for 1 minute straight before I decided to check if I had anything in the inventory...

???

Link has been updated with new game .
You will know when you get a inventory item with txt .
Looking at inventory item in inventory will tell you what it is .
Start of room tells you what to do .

It seems a bit illogical that the spoon only appears after you have made the mask. What's that got to do with that?

Also, you should change "YOUR FREE" to "YOU'RE FREE" at the end.

Nice first game, though, and really pro-looking intro screen.

Thanks Fred

Spoiler
I have short term memory loss so I forget how things are spelled .
I fix that , and the reason I did the spoon like that is you would not want to leave the cell till you have your mask done right ? :)
