Do not buy

One of the worst games I ever played. I cannot figure it out even after reading the official walkthrough.

need walkthrough

i am stuck and i’ve looked at what you guys have on your website as hints but it’s just not helping i love the game and love to finish it but can’t

Don’t know what some of these reviewers are talking about…

This game was a gem! All of the puzzles were solvable with the clues in the game, they just took a little thought. I think that’s a good thing! I also liked that several puzzles were kind of “open” at the same time, so you could make some progress on a puzzle, do some work somewhere else, and come back to the first puzzle once an idea clicked. I hope this developer makes more games and I’ll be checking back to see if they do!

A really good game

I just replayed this after a couple of years and was happily surprised to see how well it holds up. The puzzles are challenging and interesting and tricky - the best kind imo. I def needed a couple of hints and the hint guide on the website is great. It gives you a little nudge at a time so no spoilers. Overall a well-made, very enjoyable game. It’s amazing that it’s basically a one man production. Well done, dev! I hope you make more!
