### 5/5 — Classic point and click adventure

*2022-07-06, version 1.4*

If you’re a fan of this kind of game, you will not be disappointed. There are multiple endings, but you do not have to start over—just click through the credits and hit Continue. I got stuck at one point where something was under a bed and the room was too dark to see the hotspot. Otherwise, I had no technical issues even though the game is almost 10 years old. Rare find!

### 5/5 — SO GOOD

😭😭😭
PLS MAKE MORE

### 5/5 — Beautiful and challenging

*2020-01-28*

I don’t know how I missed this , but apparently others missed it too. A real gem with good puzzles to solve and just enough story line to keep a good mystery story going. Somewhat abrupt ending. 
The story ending was my least favorite part.
It’s nice to play a game that has no ads interrupting and a hint system that actually gives hints without solving the puzzle for you. No walkthrough required.

### 5/5 — Great way to get my Myst fix

*2018-10-28*

Don’t let the graphics fool you. This is a serious puzzle adventure that recaptures, quite literally, the original Myst experience of being on an island and not knowing what’s going on. Puzzles are an appropriate level of difficulty. My only complaint is the large amount of walking. Overall, a very worthwhile indie hidden gem.

### 5/5 — Wonderful game!

*2017-04-16, version 1.4*

I can't believe more people haven't discovered this gem of a game. This is a wonderful puzzle adventure game with challenging puzzles, uniquely beautiful graphics, and a moody, otherworldly atmosphere that I thoroughly enjoyed. The puzzles range from fairly easy to quite challenging but all the clues are there and scattered about if you just look closely enough and pay attention.... the best kind of game. It has an in-game hint feature but they're not always hints... sometimes they only just give you a tiny piece of information. I confess I looked online and found just enough extra help to finish. There are three different endings. Don't get fooled and think you have to start over to find another one....  Just go to the end of the credits and you'll be able to continue and choose another path. Try this game! It's well worth the 99 cents.

### 1/5 — All six characters are male

*2016-04-18*

All six characters in this game are male. Why? Why didn't anyone think, at any point in the creation of this game, hmm, should all six characters be male? Hmm, maybe not?

### 5/5 — Help

*2016-04-10*

I need some help. I first got the game and found the code for the keypad on the light post and typed it in. What do I do next?

### 5/5 — Awesome game well done! 👍

*2015-05-28*

Just found this little gem and glad I did!  Reminds me of The Minims game but with some really challenging puzzles.  I finished only with help from the dev who, after 3 years from release date, was happy to help.  I find that very refreshing so not only 5 stars for the game, but another 5 for the dev :-)  Thank you!! -m
