User reviews

Unnecessarily violent

The puzzles are actually fairly good and the art/music is well-designed, but there are PROLONGED sequences of deadly violence for no real good reason? I’m not sure why we need to see someone getting beaten to death for a solid minute.

Terrible! Destructive behaviors

The game is positioned for children of 12 years old, at the very beginning of the game in the third scene of the main character some animals roll on the ground and start kicking with their feet.
What do they teach teenagers?
What kind of behavioral patterns do the authors of the game lay down?

Unique Puzzle Mechanic

This game uses the unique mechanic of changing light and shadow to make changes in the environment. Some puzzles are easy and some are hard. Playing the game was an enjoyable experience.
The devs promptly responded to a question I had.

Not exactly a children’s game lol

It’s a good thing that I’m not a kiddie, but for fans of something a little darker, this is wonderfully ghastly.
If you’re a fans of Happy Tree Friends type stuff, you’ll love this 👍

Fun to play over and over

I hope you guys are making another game like this or add some new chapters. Absolutely, completely satisfying.
