Fun game to play with a friend. My friend and I finished this in about two hours - the puzzles had a great variety and won't break your brain. Though, I wish they had gotten trickier as we progressed to the final stages of the game. The story is predictable but that's not why you're playing, anyway. I like old dog.

Fun and short puzzle game elevated by the seamless co op. + Puzzles are usually intuitive and there is a good hint system in the game. + Graphics are great, game looks good. + Co op works well. + Game is cheap and short. - Villain was obvious from the start. - Story is nothing great, this seems like a chapter one of a more intricate story, almost like an intro. - Almost all the puzzles are on one screen and usually inside a box or a crate or something. First puzzle was lot more open which i liked more as this feels a bit more confined. Overall this is a good game for one evening if you have a friend to play with. I enjoyed it.

Definitely recommend! My sister and I live far from each other and both of us love puzzle/clue based games. It was a lot of fun to have to cooperate to solve the puzzles. Some were pretty tricky, but we eventually had epiphany moments and got there. Wish it was so much longer because it is truly is a unique gameplay experience. Can't want to see what this game designer creates in the future!

Very fun, a bit on the expenisive side when it comes to how much time you spend before you cleared the game, concidering at least two people has to buy it- Despite that, I loved the mechanics and how understandable it was once you got into it. not too hard, not exactly easy either! It gave a good feeling to solve the puzzles. Fun story too!

Just finished this game with my gf - fantastic game to play with couples especially when you like doing puzzles and the like together. Definitely snag this if you're looking for a few hours of fun. The puzzles don't require anything else other than what's given to you but are still challenging and rewarding when solved. While the format for each level was a bit repetitive (find the combo), the puzzles themselves were impressively creative. We were a bit bummed that this left on a cliffhanger though and we're really looking forward to the sequel's release! Hopefully the puzzles and format stay fun but showcase more variety that allows the player to interact more with the environment.
