Must Play.

The puzzles were difficult but solvable and the story’s amazing! I definitely recommend people to play it!

A little confused

So I finished the game…it was good but there were several puzzle elements that I never got the chance to solve…I guess they were just decoys? just kinda feels unfinished and expected more after the final ‘discovery’. Still enjoyed it!

do yourself a favor and skip this one

some of the puzzles are frustratingly hard and not in a “fun and challenging” kind of way. in a “jfc how long is this going to take through trial and error???” kind of way. but it was the very end that was the worst. spoiler alert kind of i guess, but when i finished the game there were no credits or anything to indicate that the game was over, it just reset me back to the very beginning. i thought for sure it was part of the game so i played through the whole thing again expecting something somewhere to be different or that i needed to complete the puzzles in a different order or something, but no. i played all the way through again, and again it reset me at the very beginning. i finally looked up a walkthrough to see what i was missing, and found out that was just the ending. so annoying. i’m upset that i paid the $1.99—in hindsight, not worth it at all. smh.

Puzzle doesn’t work

The 16 button puzzle on the rear deck has issues with not being able to progress.. have gotten as far as lighting up 14 buttons with only 2 options left, but neither sequence worked.. have force closed app/game numerous times and found I can’t even get passed 8 correctly lit up buttons..

Gave up!!

But decent game if it works for you lol

short

didnt even feel like the game ended. it just restart for no reason. very weird. story is mediocre. the only fun puzzle was the slide one. the rest were boring.

Brilliantly done

Beautiful game and really fun and tricky puzzles. Brilliant ending

Good game, no glitch

I usually don’t write reviews but I enjoyed this game and saw that there are many people stating that there must be a glitch because they can’t get past the last puzzle. I just wanted to clarify: this is a good game, cool storyline, and the puzzles can be difficult for some but definitely doable.
Hint: the buttons light up when they are in the correct sequence but that doesn’t mean you began where you should have. If the sequence goes away after you push some of the buttons, that just means you guessed a string of buttons in the middle or at the end of the sequence but not where it should have started. Keep trying! You can do it!
Thanks again for the game!

Pyramid puzzle is torture

A lot of the puzzles are insanely tedious and are just annoying. Way too many pyramid layers. Probably not worth the time Edit: was completely right, last puzzle is impossible, I’ve tried all the buttons and none of them work. For more info if the dev wants to fix the bug, I am able to press 7 buttons until it is impossible. Edit 2: I’ve been able to progress further, but the last button just resets the puzzle, there’s no human error, just a dumb glitch.

SUPER FUN!

puzzles are in between of easy to hard level which is enjoyable for myself. my favourite puzzle to solve was the tower one.

i really enjoyed this game, can’t wait for more. took me three days to solve as i was in between different games.

the ending really caught me off guard! amazing story line.

Don’t waste your time or money

I’m so disappointed. The game only took me less than 30min to play… Way too easy.
And also the first puzzle of sliding was too hard so I paid the £2 thinking the game would be long and worth it. Well it wasn’t at all, what a waste of two pounds.

Good

I liked the game. First game review. Pretty difficult puzzles however I enjoyed the story. Last puzzle is tough but I think people need to be better with pattern recognition.

Fun with room for improvement

Very good overall, but the 360 movement of inventory items is unnecessary and frustrating

Truly outstanding

LOVED this game

It’s good

I think it’s really good I enjoyed the puzzle games

Cool

The storyline is actually quite cool, the way the rooms flow into the puzzles is also quite nice, however a few of said puzzles are dreadful. Especially the tower and the last couple, the very final one is pure trial and error just a hassle.

Okay

Decent game, no crashes. 2 minuses:
1. The final puzzle is not a puzzle, it’s a pointless joyless slog.
2. The ending…really?

Like but…

Tower of Hanoi puzzle is making me rip my hair out. I know it’s not that hard but my brain is not getting it lol

Holy guacamole

Ngl, it’s tedious, BUT HOLY CRUD!! It’s just the kind of thing I look for in books, so the interactive element is perfection for me!

Very good

I usually don't like these room escape games because things are so hard to find and have no proper logic, but this one is really good. I'm surprised it hasn't got more reviews, gameplay is really nice, story as well, puzzles are nice

decent game

it’s a decently styled game. point and click escape is always a favorite of mine. pretty graphics and easy to understand controls. however, there is no way to skip past the puzzles without buying premium. i got stuck on the line puzzle and just had to quit the game. i wish there was a way to at least watch an ad to skip it. otherwise, good game.
