What players say
Players compare this detective puzzler to Obra Dinn and Golden Idol. The time travel mechanic is novel but underutilized. Players split on polish, with some noting bugs and janky controls, while others praise the satisfying deductions and heartfelt story. The game is short, around 3 to 6 hours.
