Jan. 2025

A delightful and well-crafted puzzle game that introduces an intriguing time mechanic. While not overly long, taking around 5 hours to complete, the puzzles are cleverly designed and challenge your thinking in diverse ways. The calm and soothing atmosphere is a standout feature, ensuring a stress-free experience without any sense of being rushed. A fantastic choice for puzzle enthusiasts looking for a relaxing yet engaging game.

Sept. 2024

Like a lot of games in its genre, it's a little on the shorter side, but it makes great use of its mechanics and has some really good puzzles. Definitely recommended.

Aug. 2024

A cute and very well made puzzle-game! It's not that long, took me around 6 hours to complete, but the time mechanic presented is very intruiging and the thought up puzzles are nice and test your wits in a lot of different ways! The calm atmosphere is one of it's strong points and you never have really the feeling of being rushed.

June 2024

Liked it, but DNF. The final levels in the third world are just too fiddly to be fun. They require exact timing planned many moves ahead and at some point this felt just like work. Buy it on sale.

Feb. 2024

A good first-person puzzle adventure with unique copy mechanics, set in a beautifully stylized Egypt. Puzzles are not too convoluted and tightly paced adventure that does not overstay its welcome make this game easy to recommend especially on good discount. Pros: - Amazing art style; - Good optimization, but the game is locked at 60 frames per second; - Decent voice acting; - Mysterious atmosphere; - Simplistic gameplay; - Fun puzzles; - Good controls; Cons: - Many late game puzzles are highly time dependent; - Lacking soundtrack;
