Well this was certainly a disturbing little romp. 

I adore the visual style you have going here, the lack of music, and the absolute lack of any actual "scares" aside from the situation and the context clues lying around (this is the first time I've included a content warning simply due to implications). So congrats on that.

My main issue here lies with the puzzles. Now, in an of themselves, the puzzles and the clues are fine, everything you need to solve it is there... somewhere. But I do feel like some of it is a bit obtuse. I ended up bruteforcing the lock when I had 3 out of 4 symbols figured out, because I simply could not for the life of me remember or find where on Earth I had seen the supposed fourth one. And even then, one of the symbols (behind the closet) I found by complete accident more than by exploring.

Similarly, and this is just as much my own fault for having a tendency to overthink puzzles (I blame Silent Hill), the portrait puzzle seemed to send me on wild goose chases. While I get that the word on the fridge and the color of one letter isj ust supposed to lead your mind to the portraits themselves, they made me think they were referring to th ORDER the frames had to go in - rather than just do the logical thing immediately and put them in chronological order. I feel like it could be a little clearer which clues are actually... clues, here and there. But again, this is most likely more my own fault than yours.

Aside from that, and the lack of a "real" ending aside from a white scren, this was an excellently spooky performance wrapped in a wonderful art style. Great work.
