I’ve played this game quite a bit it is easily one of my fast favourites. All the backgrounds are hand drawn by the gamedev in stunning detail with retro pixel style, in a way that makes a point and click fun and still a challenge. This game reminds me of good vibes from my childhood in the UK and is almost like traveling back in time. I get the feeling I am exploring an old theme park from the 90’s while possibly being followed or watched by someone else? Something or someone is just in the corner of my visual field or maybe just out or reach always watching. It’s a little unnerving, however insures the game is suspenseful. The 3D element is unique and again retro style while visually a pleasure to experience all while making me actively think and search in a way I haven’t before when playing this type of game. There is an element to this game that makes the whole experience harder as it interacts with you on a personal level and I am rather enjoying that part as well although it is a bit of an emotional roller coaster! I’ve never had a puzzle game push my buttons so much and get me so engage in the mystery!

I actually really enjoyed this - I like how many things are able to be interacted with and how strange a lot of it is. It did a good job of giving you that eerie feeling as if you actually were doing urban exploration. When you did find or solve something it was very satisfying as well. It is a tiny bit rough around the edges but the ambience and exploration aspects are great and I really enjoy the art style. I did finish act 1 (most of my playtime was offline) but i'm not 100% sure i did everything I could have; it's hard to tell

really fun yet eerie ambiance, awesome style and craftsmanship in the drawing of each pannels! i thouroughly enjoy the urbex vibe of this oddly haunting abandoned theme park. though.. im not sure if i absolutely suck at this or if its qa bit buggy but i feel like i clicked on every possible pixel of every frame and im still stuck.. combinaisons that should make sense or be obvious leads nowhere and often leave me to be puzzled and running circles.. do not be fooled. i will figure it out even if it takes me days, i am just running out of "logical" moves to try and get places

Game is literally impossible to play. When I open the game, it skips everything over and over again. Edit: Fixed it and now I can play it :D
