What players say

Players consistently praise the time-manipulation puzzle idea and steampunk art, but say the execution is let down by unresponsive controls, frequent game-breaking bugs and camera issues. Many warn that levels require trial and error and restarting due to softlocks, and the story is thin. Comparisons to Teslagrad and Braid come up, with reviewers saying those are better choices.
