Seems very cool.

The book animation when I got to one of the bookcases was very clean, it was nice to have some visual stimulus while I was waiting: any form of interactivity or stimulus in these lockpicking sections is good to see.

The level design is also pretty cool, the rooms are nice and varied and the game seems to have a pretty nice difficulty curve.

It needs some polish here and there but cool stuff!

Thanks for the feedback! There is still a lot to improve, but I am thinking of continuing the project after the jam. Cheers!
