I genuinely wish I could give this a more positive review, but I'd be lying if I said I walked away from it feeling like it was "time well spent". The first and most glaring problem is that the game is [b]way[/b] too dark for its own good. There are a number of situations where you're basically in almost pitch black darkness, and even when the lights are on they often barely illuminate the area well enough to see what you're doing. This makes finding some of the objects or clues unnecessarily difficult. The sole saving grace is that drawers and doors [i]will[/i] highlight if you mouse over them, but that doesn't make the problem go away. The second big issue stems from the random-factor to both the labyrinth and the music tuning puzzle. While the former [i]could[/i] be forgiven if there wasn't an arbitrary achievement centered [i]completely[/i] around luck, the second is just a regrettably poor choice by the developer. I understand they wanted it to be a [i]puzzle[/i] but a great many people have difficulty telling such tones apart and there's no visual aide. Unlike the Selentic Age sound puzzle in Myst, which uses several distinctly [b]different[/b] sounds in conjunction wit…

It was a great game but it fully crashed my PC at the beginning of it during stream not sure why tbh.. then we almost finished the game but the part at the type writer near the end did what it was supposed to do but the next part never happened I saved and closed the game and went back 3 times so I can't progress unfortunately to have finished it. The puzzles where good mind you the music one was difficult for me personally everytime I thought we had it nope. As for recommendations of I'm not sure since I never got to finish it since it won't let me move on on the game even though I did everything right which was frustrating.

For five hours... Not bad. Allows you to figure out what you need to do instead of holding your hand. Watch out for the ending though... The plot line is... Odd. Misleading you to think its a horror title. It's just puzzles with an odd ending. Still, not bad.

Game seemed nice .. until i wanted to tab out and the game froze ( first time i could right click and close it by force on my taskbar ) and then froze once more and i couldn't do anything anymore but restart my pc .. Directly uninstalled.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. For 11$ I had a lot of fun. I was immersed, the story was intriguing, I kept making up my own thoeries. ACTUALLY omg I wish that this game was only the beginning of the story. Was sad when it ended, wish it was longer.. Part 2?? :) Some puzzles I had to draw/write things down which I always love, cause it means it's harder than normal. The puzzles could be harder though cause I like a challenge. Didn't need a walkthrough, didn't do any ''guessing'' everything made sense for me in terms of the clues and logic idk...Just make sure to look everywhere in case you didn't see an item laying around if you're stuck. Overall, great game!!!!!!!!!!! I enjoyed it, cool atmosphere for real.
