A very messy and buggy game. Puzzles that break. Had a sequence where you needed to re-do a certain puzzle, triggering a cut-scene for a second time before the game allowed you to progress. Subtitles that are missing or don't make sense. Voice acting that doesn't understand the dialogue. I would go for several other daedalic games before this one. It feels lazy, and barely quality checked.1 found this helpful
An intriguing eco-thriller with a story ahead of its time and chillingly relevant today (despite its German 2010s anti-nuclear propaganda). It borders on greatness, but undercooked cutscenes, minor bugs, and a few atrocious logic puzzles drag it down to only fine.
i dont like it and its a mess there were parts of it that were in russian for some reason lmao. Clam down!
Bunch of small technical issues on Windows 11. The game randomly loses the ability to select actions from the look/use/etc wheel, and has made my mouse/touchpad unusable at least twice. Sometimes sound stops working and there are random russian (?) text in a couple of places. There are no patches or tools that I'm aware of to fix it. Now, the game itself isn't bad. If you save constantly, you can still get through just fine. Puzzles aren't too complex, but some interactables are small, so be ready to pixelhunt if you get stuck.
Cute old game, but not as good as Deponia in my view. Nice to see a female protagonist. Interesting story centered around climate change, and puzzles that make sense. Once in a while the language isn't English in the menus, but not really a problem.
Nice one! Had to use walkthrough a couple of times, but quests are mostly reasonable. 640x480 resolution is ♥♥♥♥ in 2026, but the game is still playable
