What players say
Players praise the shadow-shifting puzzle mechanic and Victorian art style, but are split on the ending, which many describe as dark and disappointing. Some find the puzzles too easy and repetitive, while others call them creative. The voice acting and story are often called weak, but the music and atmosphere get consistent praise.
