Lustige Spielidee, mal was anderes. 
Die ersten zwei Kapitel sind kostenlos, das reicht locker um aus zu probieren ob einem das Spiel gefällt.

Keine Werbung, keine Nag-Screens, kein Abo.

### 5/5 — Challenging, creative, occasionally confusing

*2021-12-26*

Sort of like a challenging old-school adventure game, where you’re expected to fail in order to learn how to do better next time (possibly with different inventory). But some elements only work in the visual medium.

The card UI was often annoying (why can’t I swipe any card up to play it?) and the story didn’t always make sense. The puzzles were pretty fair, however.

Absolutely worth playing for free (it was on sale)!

### 5/5 — Simple, enjoyable game

*2021-12-25*

I wasn’t really sure how the game would work from the description. Even after I started, it took a bit to figure out. But once I got into it a bit more, I loved it! Pretty straight forward story until the last chapter. Then the twist at the end blew my mind. Very cool ending! Hope to see more.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2021-12-22*

Think simple random card deck plus repetition to tell a crazy adventure story. It is short... I lost track of time but I think about 30-40 minutes (allowed me to complete my 3rd game this year 😃).

I don't want to spoil ... Great, the way it uses randomness and repetition in a way that you see most "Paths of the decision tree" but shortcutting things which you have already played and would be annoying to repeat.

The small game with simple animations and sound fx pulled me into the story in a way larger games don't. And it has several funny/ crazy moments and a Big Bang end.

### 5/5 — Short but fun story!

*2021-12-22*

^

### 5/5 — Quite interesting!

*2021-09-12*

Played about 30 min first 3 levels just in order to click wrong ways and see what would happen ))
Really interesting game (even without sale)

Thanks for fun 

p.s. sounds in lots of occasions are great
