a mentally taxing and solitary puzzle-box experience where every locked door requires sharp real-world knowledge and no hints are given.

What players say
Players are divided on the puzzles: some find them satisfyingly difficult, others call them unfair because they rely on extremely obscure Lord of the Rings knowledge with no clear direction. Many mention clunky controls and noticeable spelling errors.
