A very unique game that is fun to play. If you are stuck on a puzzle, this game is very forgiving. If you like puzzle games, this is the game for you to try. Great graphics and I like how the game makes you tune around all the angles for such puzzles.

I believe this is your first game, so congratulations!! It's an achievement to release your game in a platform like Steam.
I like the story. The ballad of Barker starts with pretty good build up and give a nice twist at the end. Even though I wonder if the ship is sunk or still float, just because of the seagull is still there. :D
The puzzle, some of them I like it. They are standard puzzles, not that straight-forward, and the given clue is clear.
But some of them, are painful. I don't know if I didn't find the clue of the final two puzzle so I did brute force method for both of them (I hope that I'm just that careless to find the clue). [b]Don't open this spoiler if you haven't played the game:[/b] [spoiler]When I saw Tower of Hanoi is in the game (and it's unskippable), I just want to quit the game right away because I know how many steps that it takes to build.[/spoiler]
Overall, it's a nice game and the price is reasonable (it's very eye-catching too). I hope I can see your other game in the future.

A puzzle game in the escape-room genre, similar to Tiny Room Stories series, only much shorter - it took around 2 hours to play through.
One of the puzzles featured in the game is a sliding puzzle. There are also two puzzles which can only be solved by pure trial-and-error. All of the puzzles can be skipped except for the environmental ones, but hints are provided for those.
The bomb and radioactive cylinders are not really used in any way except for context. Not sure why they are featured in the screenshots.
