How it feels

Exploring an abandoned, robot-filled town while solving puzzles and uncovering a detective's forgotten past through clues and interactive objects.

What players say

Players consistently complain about an obnoxious dog animation on the hint button that never stops, even during puzzles. Opinions on the story split, with some finding it decent and others calling it stupid and predictable. The game is very short and easy, with no typical hidden object scenes, instead requiring item combining on regular screens.
