You explore a beautifully rendered but unsettling town, solving puzzles and finding clues in a slow, contemplative pace.

What players say

Players say the game is very short, around 2-3 hours, and ends on a "to be continued" cliffhanger. There is no map or hint button in the adventure sections, which can require writing down clues, but hidden object scenes have hints and puzzles can be skipped. The creepy story and colorful art are praised, though the writing is considered cheesy and the game shows its age.
