### 5/5 — Really Cool Game

*2025-01-27, version 1.4.8*

I love the story and the graphics are amazing. Really impressive and fun game!

### 5/5 — Loved

*2024-04-03*

Relaxing puzzles that also work to push along an original story within a unique sci-fi ambiance, yet leave you thinking about the ironic humanity within and wondering more about the protagonist and can't help but want to know more. Great job! Sincerely!

### 1/5 — Directions

*2023-12-04, version 1.4.8*

?????

### 5/5 — A game with imagination and story

*2023-11-14, version 1.4.8*

Very surprised and impressed with the story and what was done with delivery.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2023-08-20, version 1.4.8*

This is the best game I have played for a long time, absolutely incredible. Everything about it was executed perfectly from the gameplay itself, the puzzles, the music and the storyline. The only complaint I have is that is isn’t longer! :-) I loved it so much that as soon as I completed it, I played it again. Exemplary work lads and lasses, I’m thoroughly impressed.

### 5/5 — Truly a pleasant surprise

*2023-02-25*

As an avid fan of puzzle adventures (a genre of games that is severely lacking in quality in apple games) I downloaded this one at random, honestly prepared to be a bit underwhelmed being fresh off some of the flashier amanita etc games- don’t sleep on this one, y’all! Despite being less intensely animated, I found it totally engaging and very relaxing to play. The brain teasers were challenging but without making me pull hair out of my head- perfect game for a rainy day. I would love to see a more updated sequel with a more open world concept, with puzzles you feel like you “stumbled” upon. Fun game!

### 5/5 — One of the best games I’ve ever played.

*2021-09-02, version 1.4.8*

Absolutely loved every second of this, the design, puzzles, colour palette, music and crucially the story and ideas presented - 100% unique and perfect. 

WALL-E meets 2001: A Space Odyssey and Interstellar. Genius.

### 5/5 — Simple greatness

*2020-12-14*

This game is great I play it every once in awhile, mainly Because I dońt want it to end, but also do to a busy schedule. Great to keep your mind running but not an hectic kind of way. So you can just feel at peace while completing some kind of mind strategy and coordination games.

### 5/5 — Spend the money

*2020-10-24*

I don’t write reviews very often but this is worth the money.

### 5/5 — Great work by developer

*2020-10-13*

There is nothing I would say negative about this game. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Money well spent.
