I really enjoyed this game. The worldbuilding is interesting as you explore the characters' personalities and relationships through the pictures, as well as finding the clues to solve the puzzles in them. Some were harder to figure out, especially the one at the very end, but I found it very rewarding when I finally did (even if there were 1 or 2 that I had to search up). I also enjoyed the music, the art style, and I thought the mechanic of changing POV by travelling through the different characters' eyes was very creative and interesting. This game is definitely worth a shot if you love puzzle games! And I would definitely like more content on these characters and their story.

What a fascinating game. I am not going to pretend I had any idea what was going on with the story. Anyway, the presentation was great, some cartoony, but violent/depressing imagery, and the puzzles were engaging and pretty intuitive after some head-scratching. Everything had a subtle hint, took me an hour or so, without any guides.

Great, the puzzles are fun, and the artwork is really nice. I had trouble figuring out the answers to the puzzles were in the pictures.

I am super slow when it comes escape rooms and these games but wow I give up I looked up a guide I admit it stumped great game!

Interesting game. If there had been a way to uncover more of the story it would have been even better. Would be an interesting long game. Just curious enough to draw you in, just weird enough to be interesting, just colorful enough and well designed enough to keep interest.

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
