Not recommended Jul 13, 2026
There is an annoying "collectable hunt" (coins, photographs, figurines, orbs) you'll be doing throughout the game, that has nothing to do with finishing the game, just some nonsense added for achievment hunters that take pleasure from having found all 500 coins or something. It's just irritating because when you think you've solved something that will give you the next piece of a puzzle, turns out you only found 3 more coins. Something like that has no place in this type of game. Also it gets horrible towards the end where puzzles get extremely difficult, especially because is never clear if you got all the pieces to solve a particular one or not. There are much better games on this genre, skip this one.

Worst puzzle game I ever played... Hated every step of it. Some puzzles have no indication that something has changed once you've solved it. To "finish" the game you must find every single hidden collectible.
Recommended Aug 17, 2026
While it has it's fair share of problems, I think it's still worth buying if you like first person puzzle games. The puzzle do get difficult in a pretty harsh way toward the end.
Recommended Aug 15, 2026
Some game were easy and some hard, but overall this was a really good game. The graphics were great, the sound little low. I would play this again. It is a very long game, but that is ok it kept me busy. A must buy game.
Recommended Jul 9, 2026
the scenery is fantastic. I like that the cursor changes when you are over an object of interest. the puzzles have been mostly solvable and the in game clues have been helpful without being too revealing. I disliked that in some cases you have to go back to a previous place that you had finished, because the game added a new puzzle where there hadn't been one.
Recommended Jul 9, 2026
Puzzles are well thought through and quite challenging. Lots of secrets, love the themes presented, just a really great game. 10/10
