  • Awesome first game!

    A very nice blend of story and puzzles with the story completing the intro perfectly.

    From what I can tell this is either an individual person or a small/ starting out team/ group as this is their current only game but plays extremely well, nice art style as well.

    I have to agree with another user that the brute force /trail and improvement puzzles are a bit annoying but they go along with the theme, maybe some sort of text like “ I can’t remember the code” or something to incorporate them into the story rather then having them as just an obstacle would have been better.

    I would have liked it to be a bigger game to take longer and have more puzzles and more story but that’s just me being greedy for more after enjoying what was there.

    So overall great game and hope there are more with similar style to come from this creator in the future :)

  • Wanted more.

    Over too quickly
  • Fun but I just can’t get by the sliding puzzle

    It’s just too much for me as someone who’s not good with those kinda puzzles.
  • Great!

    I really loved this game! It reminds me a lot of tiny room stories. Amazing graphics and storyline, and I throughly enjoyed all the puzzles! Some reviewers are complaining about the difficulty, but I believe there’s a strategy to be found in all of them, though they were definitely challenging. My only complaint is that i couldn’t (or perhaps couldn’t figure out) how to go back to the front of the ship after I entered the inside, which made it a bit more difficult to solve one of the puzzles because i couldn’t go back and look at the clues. I also wish you could zoom in at times because I sometimes had difficulty finding smaller objects hidden in the rooms. Overall though a fantastic game and I hope this developer makes more!

  • Goosebumps

    Made me feel sad and scared, but in a good way. The ending gave me goosebumps.

    Puzzles are really fun to solve.
  • Frustrating Ending

    Some good puzzles but let down by others, especially at the end.
    The shinobi tower and the door sliding puzzle are just one of those things that take an age and aren’t that fun.
    But the last two puzzles of the 4 colour square and the grid of buttons, that’s not a puzzle. There’s no thought or logic besides repeatedly having to brute force attempt and remember the past failures to eventually make a long Simon says memory result

    Hello Rfdigdgjjhdudbdjsvsidb I'm sad that you didn't like the game, I hope you like my new game better, thanks for the feedback
  • Pay to play

    Started out fun, but immediately some puzzles cannot be finished unless you spend hours upon hours getting frustrated and annoyed, or if you pay for free hints/answers. Paying for the answer to the puzzle takes the fun out of it and having puzzles that are basically impossible right away without spending money is insane. I’ve spent an entire day on the 3rd room just to end up deleting the app because I’m not spending money on answers and I’m not gonna sit on the same puzzle for days. Was hoping for something fun out of this game as I enjoy many puzzle games but this one has too many issues, small details the average eye cannot see, and it starts out way too difficult. Not everyone is an amazing puzzle solver and it’s quite off putting when you barely start the storyline and can’t even finish it. They also somehow delete bad reviews.

  • Could be ok

    Not the most challenging escape game, and pretty short. All of that would have been fine but the game navigation mechanics is really frustrating.

    Constantly found myself accidentally turning around the room when I meant to select and object, and conversely found myself zooming in on an object when I meant to turn around the room. To the developers please figure out a more seamless mechanism (say double tap to zoom in, swipe to switch views).

    This is the first comment about navigation, I'll think about how to improve it, thanks
  • WOAH! CRAZY

    This game was super fun! A couple of the puzzles were quite difficult and I had to look to the walkthrough to figure them out but wow what an ending! Highly recommend!
