What players say

Players say this prequel is shorter and uses recycled assets from the first game, making it feel smaller than the main series. The puzzles draw mixed reactions, with some calling them obtuse or convoluted, while others find them clever. A game-crashing bug on Windows 11 can block progress, though disabling Steam overlay may help.
