About 45 minutes in and this is clearly going to test my puzzling skills.
I am in a single room attic apartment, although the locked door suggests perhaps a bathroom as well, and puzzles abound. I have spent my time exploring the space and settling into things. I am not sure I have encountered everything I can at this stage, but it's time to focus on a puzzle or two and attempt to start unraveling things.
Which will require making connections. Various things are clearly clues; I just have to work out to what.
In 2020 the world went crazy for a while. New and Uncomfortable replaced the norm and this is the story of one thing that happened.
I know because the game starts by telling me.
It won't win any visual prizes but it is more than fine as a canvass for the goings-on. Which will clearly be about the puzzles, and through them presumably an escape from the room.
According to the maker, all the puzzles have a logical solution, and having poked about in a few I doubt you can force the answer. Which appeals to me; everything I need is here in this space, and my brain and intuition will be my best attributes.
I have acquired various items, placed a few, looked at quite a few more, and made notes. You move with the keyboard, WASD moving you in the relevant direction, Q and E turning you 90 degrees. It took me a short while to settle in, especially when I wondered could I look in a drawer. Take my advice and open the first drawer you find, and then use W to 'lift' yourself high enough to see inside. Right click the mouse to back out.
Speaking of which, the right click became my friend. Interaction can pull you in, but just right click to get back to your world view.
The hot spot icons are rather small, so I switched play to my PC rather than my laptop. They are still small, but more discernible. Check out How to Play from the menu for more detail on what they each do.
The keypad also e.g., opens your inventory, and the mouse interacts with the world. Hints exist, and having tested one puzzle they are very much nudges not solutions. Save at will.
I look forward to sharpening my pencil and my brain, and solving the attic.
PS, There are also cats. I look forward to finding a dog.
