Its a very innovative concept using mobile for one side and computer for the other but the mobile gameplay feels quite detached and irritating especially when trying it on PC as you can't rotate your "phone". The puzzles are a lot of fun, very abstract at points and require a lot of in depth thought especially for the last carriage which was 10x harder than the rest of the game but overall it was a really fun and worthwhile game.

We had fun with my brother. Similar to "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" but with escape rooms instead of bomb defusing.

For being 5 bucks on sale it was alright. A bit frustrating when one player is stuck and the other kinda just waits around. The companion 2 player system was decent, however it's not too different from the way coop puzzle games let people help each other while both solving puzzles. For a sale-price it's worth a buy/playthrough, just not groundbreaking.

We loved this game! This is very much for good escape room players since you have to talk and share information a lot. One player has a 3D world and the other has a companion app...both sides have to be inoled constantly in the riddles though. the app seems more simple but you are involved in eerything and give pointers to the player in the 3d world. It is quite the challenge and we had some roadblocks but were able to solve everything on our own. only negative point is that you cannot really switch between roles mid game. this is really challenging and involved coop gameplay and only works with two committed riddle-solvers. if one person resigns you are stuck. highly recommended and one of the best puzzle and escape-room-esques games on steam and we completed a bunch. Thank you devs! Please make more of this!

I love two player asymmetrical puzzle games, and this one certainly has a lot of outstanding points! I absolutely recommend it! The environment (the train) and the puzzles all work well together, and the general escape premise is of course very strong for these types of games. The audio and visual art work rare very nice and a great fit, and I enjoyed the overall style. The puzzles were clever and some are quite unique -- all were ultimately nicely crafted for two players. That said, here in lies the flaw in this game -- the hint system is basically pointless but is necessary in order to ensure that a few of the puzzles do not end up being more than challenging, but in fact absolutely frustrating time-sucks. I personally think rather than changing these certain puzzles significantly, simply refactoring the hint system (which currently tells you absolutely _nothing_ you don't already know) that is already in place, would solve the problem and make for a great experience. Other than that issue though, the game is really wonderful and a ton of fun to play with a friend!!
