✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's free price and its attempt to tell Harriet Tubman's story, but criticize its execution as a puzzle game with sluggish, unresponsive controls that interrupt gameplay flow and basic, unattractive visuals. The educational historical content is seen as something better experienced through other sources like Wikipedia, and the writing quality is noted as poor.

A poorly implemented puzzle game. Its only purpose is to tell you the story of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Tubman which you could just read in Wikipedia. Good: - free So-so: - the setting of 19th century US slavery / abolitionism is somewhat interesting though I don't really like it in the political context of early 2020s Bad: - graphics are rather basic and the color scheme in levels is ugly (green-ish, gray-ish) - when moving your character, there is a rather noticeable delay while the animation is playing, and this gets very annoying. You have to wait those fractions of a second every time because WASD key presses don't have any effect until the animation is done. These hiccups destroy fluidity of movement and artificially slow you down - English texts are rather poorly written, with words frequently used incorrectly. The credits say the game was made by a diverse selection of students - cmon, none of them was a native English speaker? - there are some religious statements... - the game is rather short, with just about 20 levels Overall, unless you are a supporter of BLM etc and want to play this for political reasons, this game is barely worth your time, even for …3 found this helpful

A fun straight forward puzzle game, turn based movement you try and navigate Harriet to the other side of the board without being caught, each turn every person on the board does a movement and you need to find the pattern to sneak past. It progressively gets a little harder, but never too hard, you'll probably never need more then two tries to get through a level until the last few. And of course the whole game has some historical lessons on each level but nothing really in depth about the level a elementary school class would go over, which may be a good target audience to introduce to this game. 7.2/10
