What players say
Players finish it in about two hours and call it a short escape-room style puzzler. The hint system is widely criticized for spilling all clues at once without letting you dismiss them, and a few puzzles force trial-and-error or brute force. Some enjoy the story and its twist ending, while others find the graphics and puzzles too basic.
