Pyke man, this is simply gorgeous.
you have the art direction just pitch-perfect, but PLEASE for my sanity's sake, make the puzzles CHALLENGING. so many adventures nowadays soft ball you and hold your hand so much there's no rewarding feeling like you used to get. i want to feel like friggin macguyver when i play an AG. i play for the GAME aspect, just as much or more than a great story, character, etc. all of the above is important, but i feel like there are lots of people who discount the role clever, challenging, even frustrating puzzles play.
i'm a musician and songwriter. i kinda feel like the music you made yourself is a bit underwhelming compared to the quality of everything else. i hope that doesn't offend you. your sound design is amazing. but if you want any help with some really creepy, tasteful stuff please contact me. i totally believe in this project just from this thread alone and would love to help.
also, just an idea. i know you're thinking about just little splashes of tension-building music and stuff. but for any really intense scenes, i think it could really suit it to have some Russian Circles, Pelican, This Will Destroy You kinda stuff throughout on certain scenes. If you want some really cinematic, intense post-rock music like that, or inversely some very melancholy film score stuff, or just basic sci-fi I'm your man.
just for reference, this kinda stuff:
