After wishing to be small again, to feel closer to his younger brother, Jason finds himself in a strange new world filled with larger than life furniture, troublesome obstacles, and less-than-helpful occupants.

Great game, have had to use online help though!
Really enjoying this - it’s definitely a challenge, which is a welcome change from many escape games. Have had to use some walkthrough hints, but it’s nice to have a game that takes several hours to complete.

Even better than I remember
Just replayed it after several years since the first occasion. I’d forgotten quite how good it was.

Devilishly difficult!
I play a lot of puzzle games and these guys come up with the most difficult ones of all! Unless you have a lot of patience and / or intelligence, you’re going to struggle here!

Having said that, it is a well thought out game and takes very many hours to do.

The only thing missing here or hence, which are included in their other games. I suspect most people will meet them at some point!

A very good effort though and highly recommended.
