What players say

Players praise the fluid swimming controls and atmospheric art, with most finishing in 2-4 hours. The game has no failure states and uses a light-drawing mechanic for puzzles, though some find the dialogue auto-advances too quickly and there is no autosave. Opinions split on whether the length justifies the price.
