Interesting puzzles (that increase with difficulty as the game progresses), a neat plot that carries you along, and a lovely retro pixel set of graphics that this old gamer loves.

46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Launched as a Kickstarter project all the way back in February 2015 and released in May 2019, the game shows a lot of promise for the developer and delivers an intriguing story with solid gameplay, though admittedly it sometimes left me wanting.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
+Puzzle difficulty is on the money--there are some brainteasers that may stump some players, but for the most part, puzzles are tough enough to require players to stop and think, while being easy enough so players aren't frequently getting stuck and searching aimlessly
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are some nice sound effects in the game and most scenes have their own background tune.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
story wise it is almost perfect. well written dialogue, rarely used setting and the developers really capture the atmosphere of the setting. great main character and other regular characters that i wish are developed more.
