Glitch

I really wanted to finish the side quest When i look for the 3 girls but when I get to aoide and I press the power supply for the billboard it freezes and donโ€™t let me do the puzzle or anything and I have to close and restart the game to keep playing . Everytime I try again the same thing happens so Iโ€™m gonna have to skip that side quest

Great game, butโ€ฆ

I enjoyed the gameplay immensely, as well as all the puzzle sections. I was thrown off a bit at first with the game starting with a quick-time event, but was able to move past that quickly. My only major issue is the last section of the game, in which you can die and have to navigate around without being discovered. I adored the puzzle theme of the whole entire game, so as such I was thrown for a loop when it suddenly became a survival event. Definitely would have preferred if the game did not have that, or at least had an option for players who wanted a different, less stressful (and frustrating) route. Like Peaceful mode in Minecraft! Thatโ€™s the best example I can think of. The risk factor is still there of course, but regardless.

An Absolute Gem of a Game, for Puzzle Lovers

Some complain that the puzzles are too hard, but I love that it takes some work to figure them out. It makes solving them that much more rewarding. For those complaining, learn some patience or look up a walkthrough. I was able to solve everything on my own.

Masterpiece

The art style is beautiful, the plot is intriguing, and the puzzles are intuitive! You can tell the developers put a lot of thought and effort into this project. Unlike many other older reviews that mention English translation problems, I believe most of the translations have been corrected since then. There are a few misspellings and weird grammar here and there but nothing that hinders your understanding. Also, there are a couple glitches in which the sentence is incomplete, and you canโ€™t scroll to see the rest of the sentence. Nevertheless, the Palm Pioneer team did a great job!

this is one of my all time favorite pixel rpg style games ive ever played! the atmosphere is incredible, the sounds are great, the game itself is without a doubt really fun to play. the addition of minigames (specifically Twenty-One) is great.

unique premise and execution, good job!
