I Know This Place..? (chapter II)

I'm mind blown, you guys. I think this is the best adventure puzzler I've played in years. I took a gamble based on the reviews and bought both chapters. I'm always grateful to be bilingual too and being able to play in the native language. The first chapter was fantastic but the second one was just wow! I loved all the extra puzzles, lore and the sense of humor. Everything was just right. Needless to say, I cannot wait for chapter three! I'm just thankful that ideas/games like this one still exist. Easily top notch!

Picking up right where Chapter I left off, [b]Chapter II immediately shows a significant visual upgrade[/b], especially in the atmospheric apartment block sections. The authentic Soviet-era atmosphere remains a major draw, feeling genuinely nostalgic. [b]The voice acting is also a notable highlight[/b], adding depth. The story expands meaningfully beyond the first chapter's "demo" feel, introducing more lore and genuinely amusing moments that pique curiosity. [b]Gameplay sticks to the core adventure formula:[/b] finding items and codes, with some NPC interaction. Puzzle difficulty is generally low, though occasionally [i]lacking clear direction[/i]. Visually, while the main locations shine, [b]newer areas feel simpler and expose graphical imperfections more readily[/b]. Optimization is also a concern, though playable with settings tweaks and minor stutters. [b]The Good Stuff:[/b] [list] [*][b]Strong, authentic Soviet-bloc atmosphere[/b] [*][b]Good voice acting[/b] [*][b]Interesting story expansion[/b] & lore hints [*]Non-trivial puzzles and fresh ideas [*]Visual upgrade in core locations [/list] [b]The Not-So-Good Stuff:[/b] [list] [*][b][i]Game-breaking progression bugs[/i][/b] …

I wantt to love this game, but something about the final direction is not right. great ideas got wasted.
