How it feels

You feel like an amnesiac trapped on a strange train, solving puzzles and piecing together a tense mystery through exploration and dialogue.

What players say

Players are split on this game. Many praise the deep story and challenging puzzles, but just as many are frustrated by pixel hunting, unskippable dialogue, poor English translation, and an instant-death spider scene. Some puzzles require waiting for long periods with nothing to do. The game autosaves with no manual save, which can trap players.
