What players say
Players describe this as an escape-the-mansion puzzle game with a dark, atmospheric aesthetic and a soundtrack by Nox Arcana. The puzzles are challenging and fair, though some types like the scarab ball puzzle are repeated too much, and a few are slow to execute. The game is linear and lacks hidden object puzzles.
