What players say

Players agree the game is a mixed bag of buggy minigames, awkward hitboxes, and an abrupt ending. The puzzles get criticized for unclear instructions and tedious solutions, while the hidden object scenes sometimes fail to register clicks. On the plus side, the art and lore are appreciated, and the game is seen as a cheap, relaxing time-killer when on sale.
