I'm going to recommend this because we need more indie games but really is more of a mixed bag.

This game really could have used more time in QA. I came across an issue with my character getting stuck when the window lost focus. The menu items were interactable when not visible. The 'combat' was really awful. It shouldn't exist in a game like this but it's even worse when it's implemented this poorly. There were a few moments when I was like, "This isn't Lovecraftian lore accurate and sort of make the characters feel cheap and not mysterious."

Other than that, most of the puzzles were pretty great and not overly complicated (the head one was awful though). The atmosphere was pretty on theme, the music was fitting, and there were a good amount of creepy level designs. I liked getting story bits through the messages in a bottle but some of the other lore notes weren't voice acted which felt odd.
