What players say

Players praise the blend of Boulder Dash-style puzzle logic with a Lovecraftian atmosphere, though opinion splits on the puzzle quality: some find them thoughtful and varied, while others call about half of them boring filler or easy to break. The music, graphics, and approachable difficulty are consistently liked, and the ability to skip frustrating levels is appreciated.
