Very nice graphics and audio, loved the idea, it's fun to look for clues. Would loved more things to do and more info to gather, but overall very nice experience.

Cool and original idea!!! Looking for clues was nice! The game sometimes gets stuck on a blurry zoom-in mode. Loved it anyways!

Grand idea, was left wishing for some sort of control over scene rotation however

Loved the graphics and the music. Level 2 was almost impossible for me to finish, a nice experience even though. Nice work, loved the wash your hands poster in the wall!

The game looks really cool, and has a very cool take on the theme. The idea of keeping a legend alive is unique and fun to play with. The premise and visual design were cool, the music added to the fun. The writing was cool as well, and I wish there was more of it.

The thing missing the most was more gameplay variation. I felt the set-up was not done justice. I thought the puzzles were far too easy.

That said, I really liked the innovative way of presenting the scene with a panning camera and a 3D table.

Omg, this idea is so refreshing! I was sick of those action and killing games that had nothing to do with my main objective when playing vgames: strengthening my brain.
Eventough nowadays everything has been seen or already invented, this idea has suprised me a lot!
I loooove the vintage vibes, and i see a great future in this profile.

Great looking game, simple but fun concept. Very different from other entries.

Funny little game! I like the aesthetic and idea. It seems like our ideas were very similar--ours is about keeping the legend of Bigfoot alive (but it's a stealth game). Nice work!!

The UI idea was interesting, reminds me of the old simulator games where you stood inside a room and clicked stuff. I was not able to log on the computer, maybe I got the code wrong all the time :/ Song was maybe litte too repetitive, but overall nice atmosphere!

Cons:
Controls were a bit wonky: you clicked on something that comes close to the camera, and when you click on it to close it, some other thing on the back (Nessie's photo) pops-up.
On Day 3 the game halted: I thought it was part of the game because it all blurred, but it never came back.
The usage of the theme is a bit far-fetched but then again... it's just a guide, right?

Pros:
Graphics are gorgeous, I liked the rotation of the camera simulating(?) 3D.
The music was very nice too.
It could be a good escape-the-room sort of game if polished.
Nice game.
