Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay is mostly serviceable with some enjoyable puzzles, however be warned that there are both annoyingly obscure solutions and very finicky puzzle elements where you can have the right solution but not be pixel perfect so not get a success trigger Watch out for the wheel puzzle.

Beautiful, artsy game with a darker atmosphere and puzzles that are neither hard nor too easy.
