Dev note: Hi Sheryl here! This is the first game I have developed and it is pretty rough around the edges (and maybe some grammar errors) but I really hope you do enjoy the puzzles as much as I enjoyed designing them! Please leave a comment if you are stuck or have finished the game and wanna discuss anything about it :D

Great game! For a first game it is well done and I can see the effort in the little details and easter eggs!
What I liked
The art style was beautiful and really invoked the puzzle solving vibes. The puzzles were intuitive and fun to solve. I really enjoyed puzzle 2 as I feel it was very well designed. It was rewarding to solve them!
What could be improved
As a visual person, there were LOTs of text. It was great that the important parts were highlighted so if you just want to focus on the puzzles you can just skip to the meat of it. But I feel that it also chases away players who wants to follow the story but the amount of text is just daunting. It would be nice if the story-telling was done in a less 'texty' way.
All in all great effort for the first game and I enjoyed it very much!
My first impression of this game was that it looks so pretty! I love the effort and creativity that went behind devising the various puzzles, they turned out to be pretty distinct in their challenges. I definitely enjoyed the Minecraft one more than the Math and Geography ones :P Would be great if there was different background music for each stage too! Something I struggled with was figuring out how / where to access the inventory, perhaps it could have been made clearer (either with written or visual prompts). Nevertheless, looking forward to see more of Ophelia's journey in her future endeavors!
