How it feels

A contemplative and cryptic point-and-click journey through ancient mystery, where careful observation and puzzle-solving reveal a dark, historically rooted enigma.

What players say

Players find the game too short and easy, with puzzles that rely heavily on combination locks and an abrupt ending. The art style draws comparisons to Rusty Lake, but clunky controls and a high price point leave many disappointed.
