I Wanna Lockpick
A downloadable game for Windows
I Wanna Lockpick tells the strange story of a girl's trip to an abstract world made of keys and doors. It's a puzzle game! Follow Lily through many different abstract (and maybe beautiful?) landscapes, solving puzzles along the way. Bring colored keys to doors of the matching color. New mechanics are introduced the further you go, with each one getting progressively more unhinged than the last.
Don't be fooled by the simplicity. It can get pretty hard! There are many puzzles in the game (I could give a count but that'd be a spoiler), so trust me that you'll be spending a lot of time on it, and probably shouldn't try to beat it in one sitting. Also, puzzles CAN involve red herrings or alternate solutions, so try to be flexible with your approaches to each different puzzle.
You may notice the game has platforming elements, but they are intended to be minimal and used only for unique puzzle solving scenarios (sometimes). There are a plethora of helpful features such as undo, mouse hover information, pencilmarks, and even some accessibility options to show you through the game should you desire! If you have a problem with this game, please yell at me. I promise I'll listen, even if I can't do anything about it. With that said, though: Please enjoy I Wanna Lockpick to the best of your ability! Maybe you should download the game now.

Install instructions
Windows only for now... I have heard that some people have wrangled it into running on WINE. Hope you can find a way to do that too. I don't know how, though. X_X
Also, if your game crashes with an error report about shader compilation or something, you'll have to fix it by installing the DirectX End User Runtime. You can grab and install that from the Microsoft website easily.
