Tricky location-based puzzle, October 31, 2018
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

This Ectocomp Petite Mort is a tricky little pentagram puzzle.

It took me a while to understand what I needed to do. The game had a fairly entertaining framing story which (especially the latter portion) elevated the game in my opinion. Even though I didn't necessarily agree with its message, I respected it.

The main puzzle consists in placing objects on a pentagram (with both inner and outer pentagons). I thought for half of the game that I could only walk on pentagram lines themselves. Certain objects repel each other, and the game encourages experimentation.

Thanks for this and for reviewing so many EctoComp games so quickly. I had trouble stating the instructions clearly & still don't know how to. I spent most of the time with the technical stuff.

So if/when I figure that a bit better, it's going in the post-comp release. That, and (Spoiler - click to show)3-letter directions. It was suggested in testing, but it would've required writing/testing time I didn't have given the petite mort time limit.
