Thank you so much, I really enjoyed your video! This is the first time I've watched a stranger play something I made, it was very exciting! I'm glad to hear you liked the map puzzle, that one took a good while to make and I wasn't sure how well it would translate to gameplay. (Also don't mind how there is electricity on the boat, it's magic XD)

Hi there, I am DragonExplosion and I am a Youtuber. If you like my videos, please leave a like and subscribe at my channel.

This was a really fun and short horror-puzzle game that I really enjoyed. The puzzles were quite good and it really made me think alot about how to solve each puzzle. I liked the sound effects that were added whenever a puzzle is completed or started as it really helps with the horror atmosphere of the game. The last event of the game where the main player has to grab the key without dying from the skeleton, was quite scary as I was really stressed when I saw the skeleton moving closer to me, everytime I look away from it. It would be cool if there were more puzzles added and an ending animation when completing the game to give the player a greater sense of accomplishment. 

Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.

Thank you for playing! The speed at which you solved each puzzle is astonishing, you're very good at this! I'm also so glad to hear you liked the skeleton, I'm  a big Doctor Who fan so a Weeping Angel-inspired finale seemed fitting. Keep up the videos!

Thanks for the support and compliments XD. Hope you can achieve what you set out to achieve!
