Could you put in an invert mouse Y-axis for us old farts?

What do you mean? I move the mouse (well trackpoint) up, and I see the ceiling, same with the trackpad

I'm sure it's not the fault of the game, but this straight-up crashed my machine after about a minute of play. Screen froze, everything went unresponsive for a couple seconds, then I got about half a second of a pure magenta screen, and my machine rebooted. M1 Pro Macbook Pro, Sonoma 14.4.1, Firefox 125.0.1.

Amazing work! How did you get the 3D engine to work so smoothly? Is this three.js?

Doesn't seem like the crash is repeating itself. Now it is running fine. The first time through, it died right after I was told to open the door but right before the door became openable.

That's an Apple hardware classic. Sorry to report that your GPU might be shot. (Hopefully it was just a one-time fault, though.)

Nah probably buggy Mac OpenGL drivers

I’m really impressed by the visual and audio design, and the graphics and audio implementation too. It’s great that it loads quickly - far too many online 3D games are stuck behind lengthy loading screens.

How big was the team and how long did it take to make it?

Yes, it's running on Three.js. This comment from co-author Franck roughly sums it up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40114297

In a plane you pull back on the joystick to go up.
