### 5/5 — Beautiful game

*2022-06-20, version 1.0*

Thank you. I really enjoyed everything about this game. The mood, the graphics, the puzzles which are different than any others I’ve seen. I wish it were longer. I’ll be looking for more games by this developer.

### 5/5 — Nothing else quite like it

*2022-01-15, version 1.0*

I bought this when it went on sale for 99 cents and at that price it's certainly well worth it.  Quite unique, although the artwork & animation is slightly reminiscent of Gorogoa.  Doesn't take too long to finish and most of the puzzles are pleasant to unravel.  A rather poignant story and I very much appreciated the musical underpinning.

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2020-07-17, version 1.0*

I don’t often write reviews but this is one of the most special games currently available.

### 4/5 — Great game!!!

*2020-07-13, version 1.0*

I loved the artwork. I liked the fact that the puzzles weren’t too difficult. Also, the length of each level wasn’t too long. The only thing I would say is having to complete the level and not being able to save the progress was a little stressful on the level where you had to precisely touch the screen in order to lock in the numbers and/or positions.  Again, Great Game!!!!

### 5/5 — Creative little puzzle game

*2020-05-04, version 1.0*

Really fun, short puzzle game that does an incredible job at guiding players through a variety of different puzzle types with no dialogue or instructions. The puzzles provide a nice challenge that make you feel smart when you solve them but are never rip your hair out difficult. A beautiful art style and soundtrack complement the story elements (which start off light) but the whole thing clicks by the end and does a nice job of rounding out the experience.

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2020-04-15, version 1.0*

The puzzles are great and original so is the artwork. I really wish more games were like this. I have to add that this game is SO MUCH BETTER than Distraint IMO. I played both one and two of it and never finished either, first off the puzzles are just So much more sophisticated in this game and the story didn’t promise more than it delivered, which is what I thought was the problem with Distraint. Amazing to see a developer improve so much. I’d have never thought it was the same person, I was surprised.

### 5/5 — Wonderful challenging game

*2020-04-13, version 1.0*

Great game... creative, challenging, tricky, beautiful, and moody in the best way. Unlike any other game I’ve played. Puzzles are hard. This is a game for the experienced puzzler. But there’s so much satisfaction when you solve one of them. There were multiple times I put the game down and went back to it before I was able to solve the puzzle I was on. Be warned... it only saves between levels so don’t close it out if you walk away for a while. That might be my only criticism... that I’d want an auto-save feature. But that’s a small thing in the face of the masterpiece that this game is. Thank you to this developer, and more please! Really good work!
