How it feels

A compact, puzzle-centered adventure where you solve riddles and interact with strange contraptions in a damp, atmospheric tower, guided by hints left by a previous prisoner.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle variety and fair logic, but split on difficulty: some solve everything without help, others hit several stumpers. The medieval atmosphere and note-based clue system are called out as highlights. A few note a glitch at the punch card machine, and some achievements are missable with no chapter select.
