the cabin game

The core concept of this game has potential, and I want to like it so badly, but it has a few glaring issues that need to be resolved before I'd be willing to recommend it to anyone. Gameplay Loop: The core issue that I have with the gameplay loop is that, despite having played a few games, I have never fully placed every room of the cabin or found all three clues. This might not seem like a lot, but because of how revealing correct clues works, you may be checking the correct clue but not have the room that it spawns in placed. It is also super frustrating getting an event card early on, after only having placed one or two rooms, and not being able to run away from the monsters since there's no space to loop them. Also, while it hasn't happened to us yet, it feels like this means that we could go through the whole game without actually placing the room that we need to escape from. I don't know if this would actually be possible, since I don't know how the RNG works, but the fact that I honestly think that it is possible is a red flag. My suggestion would be either separate the room cards out somehow, or maybe have a setup phase where you go around the table placing them till they're all down or something. Not quite sure how it would work, but it feels BAD now. Controls: For the love of all that is holy, make pressing ESC let you leave whatever menu you are currently in. I don't know why the developer did this, but if you accidentally press ESC, you get stuck in the options menu and can't leave it unless you click "return to game" as pressing ESC again doesn't do anything. How the ESC key works is standardized across games for a reason. THE MONKEY GAME: You have to click popcorn with a janky hitbox that jumps around constantly, but clicking also THROWS THE POPCORN, so you can't spamclick to pick it up. Also, you need to THROW the popcorn into the bucket that spawns, instead of just placing it in there, and half of the time it either bounced out or missed since the second the popcorn leaves your hand, it is subject to the random bounces that all the other popcorn are. Event Descriptions: The event descriptions leave a bit to be desired. Most of them are straight forward enough, but it would probably be good to be able to pull up a detailed description of each of them. Bugs: In the last game I played, we lucked into finding two of the three clues, and even managed to place all of the rooms that those clues narrowed things down to. Because we didn't find the last clue, each of us took a different possible room. We all died. Despite finding both the "creepy painting" and "chicken decor" clues, the exit room ended up being the furnace room, which was not a possible option if you had both of those clues. Again. I really wanted to like this game, and I found myself having fun at certain points, but I cannot recommend anyone else buy it, as more often than not, I just ended up frustrated.
