How it feels

A deliberate, cerebral point-and-click mystery where you slowly uncover secrets through puzzles and dialogue in a hand-drawn, old-school style.

What players say

Players are split on this point-and-click adventure. Many praise the story and classic style, but a vocal group warns of obtuse puzzles, a clunky save system, and the need for a walkthrough just to progress.
