I enjoyed this Lovecraft story, I do have some things I found problematic, first, the font was unreadable in some parts sadly, the text went too fast for me to read and no options to change the brightness,I get its a dark game but when I can't even see what Im doing it kind of ruins it. But regardless I thought it was a fantastic story, short and sweet game and you did a great job with it! 

another lovecraft story portrayed through visual interpretive medium

grandoise darkness fogs the visions through dark expletive voices

there are dangers and fears lurking through every step of progress

war eludes through fanciful endurance

Hi! I've just played through your game.
It's really cool. :)

I love the artwork of the main menu and paintings in the game. The sounds were nice, but a bit quiet (it also started with a volume of 0 for me).

The gameplay was alright, but the buried tool was a bit silly and I had problems seeing stuff. There should be a brightness setting in the game. ^^

The interactions were mostly fine, but you should make a better usage of the icons to differentiate between actions and examinations. Especially for the choice in the end. I just wanted to look at it with the eye icon, but ended the game. XD

All oil lamps share the same description texts, even the unlit one on the backside. ^^

Overall it was a cool atmospheric experience. Congratulations on your game project! :)
