Very positive. Teaches the player how to use reason to overcome falsehoods and reveal the truth. We need more games like this.

An imaginative approach to teaching science and science history to young minds. The lessons are taught through the pages of a young girl's journal (be prepared to read, there are a lot of pages). The puzzles are really just interactive demonstrations that reinforce the concepts taught in the journal. Each lesson brings you one step closer to finding and rescuing the young girl's family. The graphics are good making the island fun to explore. The game mechanics are easily mastered. There is no save option, but the game autosaves fairly often. I played with no issues on my desktop running Windows 10. I was a little disappointed that this installment ends abruptly mid-story, but in fairness to the developers, they covered a lot of ground in this game. And from their description on the Steam page, it appears that they're planning a sequel to finish the story. Having gone as far as I can, I look forward to revisiting the Wretched Islands with my grandkids. I highly recommend this for students of all ages.

As an astronomy graduate, I can say it's an awesome educational game about physics and astronomy. The history of our understanding of our place in the universe is presented like a detective novel, where you need to use reason and find clues to show that the Earth goes around the Sun. It's the best ways to learn about science. It took me some extra time to complete the game, because I was looking up things like When did we first measure a stellar parallax, and how precise is our best telescope. And also pictures of Pluto. The side story from the diary notes is kind of interesting. It does a good job of providing a backdrop to the whole puzzle island. The music is pretty good. The game does end in a bit of a cliffhanger, and it doesn't seem like the sequel is coming.
