the latest update is pretty good! i like the direction this is going in. bugs: - i am inexplicably missing one book, all the shelves are full except for one slot and the missing book is nowhere to be found. there needs to be a way to replenish a missing book feature suggestions: - changing the pickup system so that books on the ground are prioritized based on the nearest book, and the player doesn't have to look directly at books on the ground to pick them up - adding other things to do during downtime (NO GAMBLING PLEASE)

as people have brought up, the slide puzzle is a little bit of a pain point. if you know even a little bit about the slide puzzle algorithm it isn't that bad though, it only took 4 attempts to get the 5 and 10 minute speedrun achievements in the same run. love the atmosphere and graphical style. maybe add an option to skip those cutscenes in the beginning, and an option to view the completed slide puzzle configuration after you complete it so you can note it for next run.

i love this game. literally my only complaint: PLEASE add an unstuck feature of some kind. i use the doors as shields and sometimes if you close one on yourself you get stuck in a wall, sometimes bad enough that you can't get out by spamming movement. it ruins runs.

i enjoy this game a lot and come back to it often. i'd venture to say it's one of the most fleshed out games on s&b currently. i have run into a couple of bugs, and i do think expert mode REALLY needs to be rebalanced because it consistently becomes a total clusterfuck 5-8 minutes into a run
