Take Care (of me)

Okay. 1. Why do you have the Escape function on the "P" key. ? I think you thought it was clever to use “P” for Pause, but it was not clever. It was a bad decision. Escape is ubiquitous. Use it as intended. 2.Give people a visible cursor! It can be transparent and become active/brighter when moused over, but having it completely disappear is too disorienting. I don’t automatically know where the center of the screen is and the change to the white dot is too slow, such that it was too easy to move past an items use area, and see the dot come into focus and disappear again. 3. What was the point of the voice lines in the 3rd room? They were repetitive, gave no useful nor interesting context, history, or Lore, or not enough to explain why there was hostility. Ironically, doing nothing doesn’t progress the hostility but following the instructions do. I spent 10 min fake stabbing him with a knife for fun before I decided I actually needed to comply to advance the story. It did not create tension, it made it feel foolish. Besides that, I’m sure it might have been mentioned but you have no trigger warnings about the situation in your description or before this room. It is billed as an escape puzzler, but room 3 was just an abuse simulator. Escape Academy was able to add tension and fear of death with more subtle methods like a broken water pipe flooding room or and encroaching fire enveloping a library. This pretend dialogue was gratuitous and ineffective at best. Honestly, I didn’t get past the 3rd room, because I was unable to see the item I had picked up was still being held and spent too much time looking for where I thought I had dropped it. See Point #2. I like puzzles, but I got a bit annoyed instead of motivated. At some point I just wanted the guy to shoot me and get it over with. 4. The Voice lines started to over lap. I guess that was supposed to be him escalating but it just seemed like a bug. Positive: I was able to climb on his head and teabag him in the chair. That was fun. Yeah, 0.5 hours and being generous, that's about as much time as I'm willing to put into this.
