RE: Isle

My first thoughts were "I'm taking the roll of a prisoner and my oil gauge is full? Huh."

But then I was like "Very nice BGM." Seriously, your soundtrack choices were brilliant, they were in every way perfect and added a lot to the atmosphere. What was a little distracting however, was how eloquent and poetic the writing in every note is. It's kinda weird. It is a prison or dungeon of sorts, and I don't doubt that there are prisoners or wardens that can write well, but it gets a little ridiculous when everyone writes this well. It's fantastic that you are such a good writer, but there are various degrees of writing for every person. Keyword here is balance.

Level design is great, too, it felt like the Cambodian temple in Eternal Darkness, even more so when considering the.. sighting at the end of this demo. Perhaps you should've forced the player by jumping in, or at least shut the door behind you. It'd have been a bit more dramatic.

There were probably a bit too many keys. It felt a bit too linear when you're just following the same path of having only two-three doors to pick from, only one of them is unlocked, which leads to a key to the second door, which leads to the key to the third door, and so forth.
This does make sense, considering that you're in a prison though, but breaking this cycle would be good.

Overall excellent work. If it weren't just a demo (short) I would compare it to the main game, seriously. You had really good design decisions, and the notes you left around were pleasant to read, even considering the awkwardness of every single one of them being so well... uh, formatted, if I can say that.
