(posting under Solifuge's account) \r\rQuick note--it says that the flashlight bug is fixed, but I'm still having trouble with it in the web version.\r\rThis was interesting! I managed to escape up until the flimsy wooden box, when I ended up getting a bit too excited about playing with all my toys, stabbed myself in the neck with a pen, and died.\r\rI think it was a bit too easy to figure out what to do most of the time--after a bit there was kind of a rhythm to finding the right object. However, the first couple of playthroughs were very moody and tense, thanks in particular to the excellently chosen backing audio.\r\rI kind of liked that attempting to calm down had no effect. I was hoping it would do something to calm *my* nerves, but instead--nothing, LOL."},{"author_name":"Crabman","author_uid":"30736","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 10:38pm","epoch":1398897180,"text":"A"},{"author_name":"Crabman","author_uid":"30736","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 10:45pm","epoch":1398897600,"text":"Oops.

Anyway, thanks, NOW it's fixed (I hope.)\r\rAnd I guess it getting easier to figure out how to escape means you learned what to do and are now well-prepared for when they accidentally bury you alive! You're welcome. :D Oh, and calming down has a small effect even when you didn't panic first, it slows the timer to 90%, but not more. ;)"},{"author_name":"7heSAMA","author_uid":"6811","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 12:39am","epoch":1398904440,"text":"Nice.

Namely, the fact that often times there is no possibility of escape based on the spawn criteria, and other times you have items that make things so easy that it's not interesting.
