What players say

Players describe a huge, maze-like mansion with an oppressive atmosphere that demands memorization, especially on harder difficulties. The game is praised for its exploration but held back by compatibility issues, bugs, and clunky controls. Collecting 12 zodiac keys is a core loop.
