I love the art style and the music fits really well! The 1st puzzle is a lot harder compared to the rest and it took me a moment to figure out the controls (prob because I hadn't read the author's notes yet), but overall it's really well done.
Reviews for "Ink's Sleep OLD DEMO"
I think it was great im stuck on the part with the swirly thing and the x in the card board tunnels. the one thing i would change would be to make the first puzzle have a little more obvious solution because im seeing a lot of comments on the first puzzle

Thanks for the review. Yes, I'll make 1st puzzle easier.
This game has a genuinely creepy and unsettling atmosphere, which I love! The puzzles are pretty original and not overly complicated. I really like the art style and music/sound effects, they are perfect for this genre in my opinion. The only I'm not giving five stars for this demo is because the first few puzzles were pretty challenging but after that it just seemed to get easier. But either way, I can't wait for the full game!
Hey. Really cool little game you have here. Despite having it's elements of comedy and cuteness with the cat(and the vacuum cleaner part for example), this game does put you in the horror atmosphere relatively well, without exaggerating on jumpscares. The puzzles are obviously the main point of it and they are interestingly made, giving you hints for the solution but still requiring you to think about them. They were pretty interesting to figure out, except for the 1st one, I don't know why I got so stuck at that one, I guess there are multiple ways to interpret the message on the wall, and no "reset" button for the puzzle itself. Since you wanted feedback I went ahead and did a let's play video of this game, recording my blind playthrough experience through it: https://youtu.be/rPA3_KvgxkA . I have to say, that excluding that first puzzle it was a really cool game and you should definitely work on to making a full, finished version. Kudos to you and Good luck.

Thank you for such extensive review! There were many complaints about the first puzzle. I will change something with this.
This is very clever little Demo gives you enough taste of it's smarts yet keeps you wanting more. The maze puzzle can be figured out if you notice subtle signs and just keep traversing the paths. A pause/escape button option to go back to Menu and reset would be great in full version which I hope comes out soon. This is gonna be a great game I believe.
