swaps to ai generated graphics halfway through
(I will GLADLY change my opinion if it turns out I’m wrong or they change the game, but until then this is my review)
Alright, to start off, the puzzles in this game are REALLY good in my opinion. Sure, I got stuck from a lack of direction a few times, but the puzzles and setup are both extremely fun to play through!
…then, there’s a quiet undertone during the ending of the second chapter where the portraits animate and it looks a liiiiittle off. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and moved on.
The third chapter's thumbnail may reuse previous assets, but one look at the character portrait reveals a very distinctly ai look, one that persists through what I could muster of the chapter before skipping to see if the rest also used ai
Ignoring the ai political cartoon art style to once again give the benefit of the doubt, the very first puzzle of the fourth chapter, the rotating tiles one, has a VERY distinctly ai generated animation upon completion, so I once again skipped forward.
While the fifth chapter's art style COULD be manmade, some images can definitely be seen as animated via ai.
Knowing this, look at how simple the game's layout and graphics are. Everything is so simply drawn and the focuses are not even complex in the first place, and yet they STILL suddenly decided to use ai! I am frankly appalled and it’s disgustingly pitiful.
If there is a way to refund the $2 I spent to unlock all the chapters, I genuinely want to know so I can get my money back

진짜 재밌어요!!
다음 게임 원해요 한글 번역 진짜 최고예요 더 길게 만들어 주시면 감사하겠습니다 정말 정말 재밌어요
Brilliant!
IMHO, this is the best of all CottonGames!. So creative. Very fun. Worth the price!
They managed to take the interactive escape-style game we all know and love…and re-work it into something quite different.
Just a joy to play!
There are 5 different themed sub-games. Finding the item cards & person cards to open the next play screen, containing 4-5 puzzles & interactive areas.
Hoping CG creates another game like this in the future :)
Peace

ai
was cool at first but i think third level they started using ai for everything
Didn’t Like The AI
I really enjoyed the clever puzzles and I paid for the full game because I wanted to support a creative and unique new puzzle game, but it started to become abundantly clear that corners were cut in the art department: from the wildly different art styles in the chapter art on the main menu to the reused assets and the really really distracting use of AI art especially in the third chapter but probably all over the game in hindsight. I couldn’t finish the third chapter or keep playing in good conscience if I was just going to be looking at the AI assets for much longer.
