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.
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.
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.
