  • worthwhile puzzle game

    Highly enigmatic and atmospheric puzzles. None of them are brain busters and in fact most are quite easy, but there are a lot of red herrings. If stuck, try exploring for hints. None of the answers involve super complex encoding schemes (at least not yet - I’m only through chapter 1), but a lot of puzzles leave you wondering “Was there more information or clues that I needed in the parts I didn’t use to solve? Will I need to go back and scour old puzzles for those extra tidbits in a later metapuzzle? Or is it just for atmosphere?” I hope that question will be answered by the end!

  • Absolutely Wonderful

    Hands down best game I have ever played. I just finished the 1st Chapter and I am blown away. Fantastic visuals and even better puzzles. 10/10 would recommend.
  • Great game

    I really enjoyed this game and the varied level of complexity of each levels.
    Keep the updates coming!
  • Brilliant

    I am only halfway through but this is a great game so far. Clever but fair puzzles, very hard though, and minimalist but beautiful, powerful graphics.
  • The Guides

    Awesome game!! Love the complexity, but also the simplicity.
  • Very difficult and worth your time

    Challenging and fun. Everything one could ask for. I hope they make morebut more around using the tools. For example a tooltip on how to use the various decoders and camera tools. It's not intuitive. Figuring out the mechanics around that takes time but when you do it's very fun challenging and rewarding.

  • Thought provoking game

    I have enjoyed the non-linear, non-traditional format of this game. It is an entertaining if sometimes confusing puzzler. I strongly recommend working on it for a while, then returning sometime later—a few hours if not days of leaving it alone will usually reward you with a solution.

    This is a great casual game that gives interesting challenges while unfolding a mysterious back story.

  • I can feel dust falling off my brain

    This game is difficult, but not too much to keep you from wanting to play. Half the time the answers are so simple that by the time you find them you want to slap yourself (or the developers). It’s clever, truly engrossing, and very fun if you’re the type of person who enjoys mind games and puzzles. Really a genius little game, thank you!

  • A Different Challenge

    The graphics are clean and I enjoy puzzles - if I can solve them! Guides is way above my level but can cheat with web!
  • Challenging but entertaining puzzle game

    Some puzzles are infuriating (because you can’t figure them out) or confusing (because you can figure them out but the solution doesn’t seem cohesive with the rest of the game). Regardless, when you are able to discover a new feature and solve the puzzle, you feel accomplished! It’s a rewarding and interesting game to play.
