How it feels
A slow, thoughtful narrative adventure that feels like reading a mystery novella, where you make choices and solve puzzles through dialogue and investigation.

What players say
Players describe Sarawak as a short, cozy mystery novel you finish in about 90 minutes. The minimal art and light puzzles please most, though some note choices do not change the linear story. Opinions split on the second half: some find it weak or feel the ending stops abruptly, while others say the ending does the story justice.
