What players say

Players split on this one. Some love the story about Nancy's mother and the many puzzles and codes, while others find the mystery undercooked and the pacing slow. Multiple reviewers report crashes and saving issues on modern Windows, and the cookie-making minigame is widely mentioned as a highlight.
