It looks like someone else when with some mundane horror, lol. This was a really great entry. It reminded me of the horror sections of old RPGs. I really liked your layout of the level; it really provided good pacing for the gameplay.
The mouse sensitivity was a bit high but that's only a nitpick.
Great job!

This was really cool! Fascinating puzzle mechanics and dynamics between the two bulbs. I'm only sad there weren't more levels to play! If you end up creating a bigger version of this game, let me know!

Cool game! Smart to make the amount of suspects, make it so you have to discern who the suspect is with the information given. The sticky notes mechanic was a good idea, but for me, it was easier just grabbing a pencil and paper to work it out lol

Very nice platformer. The positive messaging and style remind me of Celeste. I think If you hone in on the platforming mechanics a bit more and expand the game out you'd have a game I'd gladly pay for.

The mix of expending energy to jump and dash while also being able to sacrifice health for energy or kill enemies for energy could let this game become a sort of platform speedrunner game. I think with some slight fixes to the staircases and some more action-packed music, this game could be a lot of fun!

This was a ton of work to get done! I see a lot of potential in the gameplay, and the code input system was cool. I liked that I could quickly input an upgrade while the enemies around me attacked in slow motion, that was a nice touch.
I think just some better sound effects and some music would really elevate the gameplay! Nice work!
