Maybe I'm just dumb, but...
Yeah I certainly am, I don't like puzzle games in general, but this is the first time where I'm not even able to solve a single puzzle right at the begining of a game.

Is there someting I'm missing ? Am I supposed to brute force the puzzles ? I don't see any clue anywhere, just things with knobs I can turn. Got a key in a wallet, doesn't go anywhere.

I explored every room and interacted with everything, I just don't know what to do to progress. If that's the whole game I'll just give up.

Those few puzzles near the start don’t actually neee to be solved for a long while. You can progress further without those

Hi there! For some of the puzzles you find the answer after a bit of playing.

Read the text on the items, go through dialogues. I

f you don't like the puzzles, you can change the difficulty options for puzzles and you will receive an "auto-solve" button, that will send you a notification if you are missing an item or knowledge to solve the puzzle :)

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask them I am here to help :)

Can you please address my post about the performance issues. Thank you

Ok I found the problem, I interacted with the blood in the basement and didn't see the door, opened with the key.

Interacting with objects with 1, 2, 3, 4 is quite unusual... but it makes sense when stuff is overlapping.

Hi @jwisanaddict, developer Ph3n0m is looking into this. In any case, we're happy to take in user feedback to better inform our support patches for improved performance/optimization.

Hey there @Zarakaï, glad it's working out. I'll advise developers on this as well though about puzzle interactions using number keys.

Hi, we thought and got asked a lot after the demos, for difficulty options and possibility to skip some of the brain teasers for players that for some reasons don't want to enjoy this part of the game and we don't judge them but accommodate to those wishes. As far as negative reviews go, everyone has a right to an opinion. Give it a shot, maybe you will love it, if not - you can always refund, and maybe give us a chance after we solve the issues you could encounter. Thanks for your input ;)

It's called accessibility.
