A interesting mystery overall. It's best if you go in blind. The puzzles are slightly higher than normal difficulty but if your patient, you have very unique story that lingers.

Picked this up on sale. It was fun, and the puzzles and environment were well put together. That being said, it was way to short for it's regular price. The length feels like something you would pick up as a demo, not a full game... I suppose I would recommend it. But wait until it is on sale. Otherwise it is not worth the price.

Absolute masterpiece of an escape room / short puzzle game. Really made me use my shrimp brain some times. Only downside of this game is that it left me wanting more. But for the right prive this 2-3 hour puzzle game is worth it

While the story and exploration aspects may not be outstanding, the game excels as a puzzle experience, offering a short yet enjoyable room-escape adventure.

Escape room game. Fun to figure things out for yourself w/o a guide... but I'm dumb and needed a few hints. I was a little annoyed by the disorienting hallway puzzle. I had fun though, and that's what matters. Hope the devs continue making games.
