Looks cool but a bit short. Reccommend waiting for a discount.

was hesitant to give this the time of day because it's confusing and aimless at first. after exploring and seeing what the game wanted me to do, it became a neat yume nikki-inspired puzzle game. doesn't overstay its welcome. solutions made me feel clever, even if many of the puzzles have no indicator as to the solution. some solutions are simply too hard to find and rely on randomly calling the right number, but that only matters if you care to 100%.

definitely an interesting experience. the puzzles are... puzzling, but still fun to solve. 6-digit combination is a little much when there are only around a couple dozen of worlds. aside from being confused majority of the time, i enjoyed it.
