Puzzles and Experience:
When I designed the puzzles for this game, I kept in mind to reveal the story of the game bit by bit to the player. For example, the torn bloody family photo implies unhealthy relationships in the family. The puzzles pieces are scattered among different rooms, which encourages people to explore and inspect the weirdness around the house. Furthermore, I dedicated to implant the idea of horror in the game while player solving puzzles. I want players to get chills out of the actions they are forced to do. For example, player are need to dip the key in the blood and kill the accompanying cat. The puzzles are also diverse and fun including putting together a missing piece, following a word riddle, and reflecting pieces through a magic mirror.
