What players say

Players praise the shadow-based puzzle mechanic and the game's Chinese mythology aesthetics, but nearly everyone notes it is very short, usually under 30 minutes. Some warn that keyboard controls are non-standard and a controller is recommended. There is no mention of updates after release.
