Great idea, but too repetitive A game mixing roguelike mechanics and enigmas is quite uncommon, and it offers a lot of potential. I was very enthusiastic at first: the cinematics, atmosphere and discovery of each room were genuinely interesting. Unfortunately, once you've seen most of the rooms and understood the main enigmas, the experience becomes very repetitive. You end up doing run after run, hoping to get the rooms you need. Since a run can take around an hour, having to go through rooms you've already seen just to accumulate resources quickly becomes tedious. The atmosphere also loses some of its impact with repetition. The music is very subdued, which fits the game's slow pace, but I sometimes felt that a bit more variety would help. I'm also not a fan of the decision to leave note-taking entirely to the player. I understand that some people may enjoy this and find it immersive, but it doesn't really fit the way I like to play. A simple in-game journal for discovered clues would have made a big difference. At some points, I was honestly almost falling asleep while playing. I'll still try to finish it, mostly because I'm a completionist and because I don't want to stop …

TLDR: Like puzzles and/or music? Love this!! Wow, overall an amazing game. Could not recommend it more. The music is very good and in tandem with the story (which surprised me tbh) it combines into some very beautiful and almost intense (emotional, not frightening) scenes. The biggest thing that draws you in is the gameplay loop. The roguelite aspect is this game’s biggest highlight. The rooms are randomized and you choose one of three rooms in most rooms with each room having a different interior and possible bonus/story. The way this is set up works so well that it makes you want to keep playing. Add in the puzzle elements/story/music and this game becomes an addiction. If you like having some control over roguelites, this game accomplishes just that. Looking for items to pick up and use, done. Another feature that overwhelmed me with emotion for some reason was the fortune teller. The fortune teller is so good and it really adds depth to the already deep game. I have not finished the game because of my short attention span but I can say for certain that the game is very well done, and will forever remain as one of my top games. For those wondering: I have played maybe …

I am maybe a bit too stupid for this amazing puzzle game

Very unique game. escape room meets rougelike "pick three" type game. i loved every moment. a very rewarding game every step and room along the way. Non-spoiler tip to new players: have a real life note book, a real life pencil or pen, and take notes on anything and everything! such a fun game!
