What players say

Players appreciate the game's atmosphere, music, and the fact it was made mostly by one person, but repeatedly complain about a frustrating savepoint system that resets progress per floor and some puzzles being tedious or poorly hinted, like the piano riddle. The game has a bad ending and a good one, with some finding the second floor puzzles illogical.
