What players say

Players call this a mobile port that was not properly adapted for PC, with clunky controls and no key rebinding. The voice acting is widely panned as unnatural or badly matched to subtitles. The hand-drawn art and storybook style are praised, but the game is short, around three hours. Some puzzles are too hard for some players, and the opera disk puzzle is a common blocking point.
