A decent first entry, Nice sound effect in there with the floor creaking, added to the atmosphere. Could do with more polish but overall a nice interpretation of the theme and well done for completing a game in 48 hours!"},{"author_name":"cwilloughby","author_uid":"18255","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 11:02pm","epoch":1355785020,"text":"The basic idea is cool - I had a hard time navigating around.
