What players say

Players describe a hardcore escape-room game where dying and restarting chapters is the main learning loop. The puzzles demand pen and paper, trial and error, and observation, with some calling it the Dark Souls of adventure games. Several note the poor English translation, and the community is too small to offer hints.
