✦ AI summary
This point-and-click puzzle prologue has promising graphics but is hampered by numerous bugs and poor usability that make it frustrating to play. Players report critical issues like maze completion not registering, UI elements disappearing, broken audio settings, and no clear indication of what's clickable or how to use the inventory system. The lack of tutorials or explanations compounds these problems, leaving players confused about objectives and mechanics despite some appreciation for the visual presentation.
pretty buggy atm, the maze does not register when i finish it, i only got the scroll through restarting the game 20 times. also the item menu dissapears when you press ESC4 found this helpful
A point&click puzzle game that promises tough challenges but either fails to deliver in this prologue, or I failed to understand what’s going on. It doesn’t help that the game is very buggy, and it never indicates what is clickable, how to use the inventory, or how to interact with most of the objects on screen. You’re tasked with returning a page to a book in the library. I’m not sure if there is a logical way to figure out where the library is, but just trying all the (few) possible locations worked much faster. Once in the right place, a few easy puzzles lead you to the book—but the supposedly missing page is already in it. After that, I had no idea what else to do: the UI wouldn’t let me leave the library, and nothing else seemed to react. I hope the “Prologue” in the title does indeed mean that this is just a demo, and that the full game will have a lot more polish and more interesting puzzles.

Tried playing it but seems to be bugs everywhere. Anything from audio resetting when going to options/settings, to things not functioning acc to instructions/walkthrough (i had to search for it). No explanation/tutorial that actually works. Basically i gave up. I like the graphics, but thats it. It gets a 2/5 from me due to nice graphics, but imo its not playable... ...yet...1 found this helpful
A "prologue" that throws you into the game without explaining who your character is, where they come from, or where they're (supposedly) going. Or -god forbid- explaining how the mechanics of the game work. You don't even get as much as a changing cursor when hovering over hotspots. Instead you have find out everything yourself by mindlessly clicking on everything. On top of that at least the audio settings are broken. It's not that they get reset when opening the settings. Moving the sliders never changes anything in the first place.
