We'd say it's short. So, don't rush, enjoy any moment.Challenging organic puzzles in a house and the garden, a small space with many posibilities. Short distances to do all that this opus offers. There isn't any puzzle with no sense, it feels like a sorcerer's house, no secret buttons neither number combinations, no "puzzles" literally, all has been designed with the point to feel it verisimilar, keeping a natural environment. The basics consist of reading the recipes, finding the ingredients, taking them where needed, and learning spells, combining them to bring out their full potential. The mechanics are original and familiar, subverted topics with wit.There are several routes to finish the game, this way experimentation is highly rewarded and solutions are not limited, allowing you to find your own way of doing things.An experience without an interface neither intrusive elements, without inventory and a simple menu integrated into the theme, the books.This game is not: horror, stealth, action, open world.4.
