How it feels

A solitary, text-heavy detective puzzle in space where hints from an audience can make the mystery too easy, ending the trip too soon.

What players say

Players compare it to real-life escape rooms and 3DS puzzle games. The 60-minute timer creates tension but the difficulty is considered fair for beginners, though experienced puzzlers may finish with ten minutes to spare. The game requires internet access and some puzzles need outside research, which players note as a unique but demanding feature.
