The game is truly not meant for everyone. If you do not have an interest in digital puzzle games or investigating things or looking out of the box, you will not have a fun time with this. But if you do, you certainly will. Some of the missions here are challenging, some are simple. The plot is interesting but the OST is a bit mundane especially with the tunnelfox system it puts you through. Luckily there's a feature where you can let the game do it for you. Overall, I would recommend it but please consider looking at the different reviews and walkthroughs and determine if it's something you'd wanna buy.2 found this helpful
The story of this one hits hard and is very well thought out. Not much QoL settings, but I believe the story more than makes up for it.
An amazing effort for a solo developer game. It's easy to poke holes here and there, some uneven writing, some dodgy UI... But the gist of it is that we had a lot of fun and at the end of the day it's all that matters ! The puzzles are pretty good, the mystery is enticing, there's some really original mechanics in there that would be worth exploring a lot more. Overall, it's definitely worth the time and money. Thanks a lot for making the game!
This is a very unique puzzle game where you hack computers to find the right information you need to solve a set of tasks. It is satisfying to piece together the information and solve the problem. Enjoyed played through it. I was able to crack each puzzle on my own using just a notepad so I think the difficulty was just perfect. Some of them took a couple of tries to get right. It's very similar to the game "The Roottrees Are Dead" which I loved too.
After Orwell and Cyber Manhunt, this game scratched an itch I had for a long time and it did so very well. It didn't turn out the way I expected, but ... I'm satisfied. Well done, would play again.
I loved this game! Some of the puzzles are a bit tedious, I would recommend for a sequel having an option where the player can have multiple documents or files open at once. But otherwise, it was great! I'm currently in search of recommendations similar to this, it kept me entertained for several days. I feel like most games like this I can do in one sitting. If anyone has any recommendations, let me know!
