I like the theme, and the many unknowns woven together. No idea why I lost. I thought I understood the core nighttime mechanic, but apparently I don't. It seems that I'd just be meta-gaming to figure it out from here.
As with the other games, it works under linux via wine (use winetricks dxvk).
Great game, I love the research mechanic and frantic descent into madness as you lose the ability to sleep and research.
Interesting game, would feel like it'd take a few playthrough to really 'get the gist' of the game and what you're doing, or, doing wrong.
