What players say

Players say the game teaches astronomy and physics through a journal that drives the puzzles, but many find it more of a reading assignment than a game. The island graphics are praised, while the gameplay is described as unpolished with slow walking and backtracking. Reviews split on whether the educational value outweighs the lackluster game design.
