Let me build something normal. Something that has no dancing citizens or randomly dying ones.

The hold has high aesthetics, and currently two puzzles located in the level known as First Level.

Intended.

Edit: It's solvable.

Interesting start. The aesthetics in the intro levels are very well done. I liked both the puzzle rooms, but 1N needs a checkpoint outside the area before you disturb anything, and 1N1E currently has no checkpoints at all.

More comments on the puzzles (spoilers):

There's a really really silly getting stuck issue that requires the player to actively try to achieve it: If you kill the last roach in the cellar on the same turn you leave the level, the script doesn't activate and you can't get it to activate by reentering. I have no idea if this is something that needs fixing, but I thought I might as well point it out.

Otherwise, very good start! Both of the puzzles had me baffled for a moment (though I really don't know how I missed that tile in 1N for so long). Looking forward to what else you come up with.
