My first playthrough I got out! So naturally had to play a few more times. I got a few endings, would love to see a bit more lore as the story definitely caught my interest; couldn't find the note of one of the women but pieced together enough via the others, and the 4(?) endings I got. The maze definitely felt disorienting and claustrophobic (yay!), voice acting was also delightful. Great job!
