I really enjoyed this experience. It brought me back to the days of The Dig sitting on my dad's lap while we tried to figure which solution went to which puzzle. There's no pixel hunting, and the game makes it easy to find what you need if you need it. I had to write down solutions to remember at later parts of the game. The one issue I have is the in game journal. There are too many solutions that are too obvious, it felt a little lazy to just hand over the solutions in a tidy book.

Bought the full game after playing act 1. Very charming artstyle and voice acting. The world building is really good for this 'little' game! Puzzles are not too hard, my playtime was around 4h. I wish there was a hint system because there was one puzzle I got stuck with a long time towards the end of act 4. The extras are lovely, hope to see more games from this dev.

Too much of the game is blocked behind a paywall. Edit: being made by a solo developer is impressive as the visuals are really nice and the gameplay is intuitive. This needs to be titled Demo or something that makes the player aware that they will only be able to play the first 10 minutes for free.

Graphics are beautiful. The UI is good and easy to navigate with a little memory! I am stuck on the 1st Stage, at 3rd from the last module. I have added 4th gold ring. I'm going to step back a minute to reset my brain. If l can pass, I'll buy the game. Well done.

If you are able to support individual game creators, I highly recommend this game. The story is intriguing and although I had to look at a walkthrough for a few parts, the puzzles are fun to solve but not impossible at the same time. Games like these are why I still have hope in the creative gaming space when bigger entities and franchises underproduce and overpromise. Games like this, coromon, and btd6 (not as small but still) are well worth the small paywall. A game theory on this would be 🔥

A playable demo with voice acting that makes it feel like it is for the under 10 years old. The extream hand holding makes all the challenges / puzzles in this game redundant and could easily be replaced with a "continue" button to move the narrative (what there is of it) along.

Despite not being listed as such, this is a demo for a paid game. You can play for roughly 20-30 minutes of gameplay before being cut off with a charge that's over $5. I'd rather buy a game upfront then be tricked into downloading something I later have to pay for. The game itself does seem interesting and I enjoyed the puzzles but not enough to pay for it, particularly because each chapter seems to only be 20 minutes or so, the gametime for the price ratio is way off.

Great game with gorgeous artwork. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Just a couple of minor qol nitpicks (not close to actually being a bother) -- (i) it would be nice to have a way in game to take a screenshot or note down codes which are needed elsewhere. (ii) being able to skip animations or tedious/slow movements in some places would be nice. [spoiler alert] eg. the tram movement, the crawling through the vent, the boat ride (ideally there'd be a simple map here) is less fun the second+ time round.

So far the game is good but i found a weared bug while playing , in the saving system , if you in a certain Act and your progress is auto saved , its saved in the first slot always and when you decide to chose a nother act to play , your current progress will be erased and overwritten to the new chosen act and autosaved! , i was in act 3 and about to finish it , chose to play act 2 and disappointed that the saving wipped all my progress of act 3 and i have to start from the beginning!!

*Full game* Got hooked by the art and the univers design. Story pretty nice, got surprised a few time by the turns it takes. I found the puzzle and clues well balanced. Basic logic puzzles but efficient, never got bored to solve. Liked the book to consult. Foot steps a bit boring after some time, more atmospheric background sounds or music sometimes. The voice is sometimes a bit tactless? Need different answers types? Overall, loved it, kind of game I would love to create. Good job to the team!

From what I've played, it's really lovely. The art style and soundscape makes a calming atmosphere. The main character also has a voice, and the puzzles are interesting and logical. However, you do have to buy the whole game to unlock the rest of the chapters. I dislike it when info like that isn't available in the description. It does seem to be worth the 6 bucks though.
