The art is beautiful, straight forward puzzles, and overall easy to walk through with a friend as long as you use good communication. A note pad would be helpful if you struggle with keeping track of numbers, as some puzzles require a small amount of memorizing. We had a great time playing!

A super creative and brillant game. The creators have infinite amount of brain cells, way more than me and my friend's combined. we struggled for almost 4 hrs and checked a 1 hr YouTube walkthough video several times. A wonderful hell experience cuz a lot of puzzles don't have sufficient guides. It's absolutely a worthy game if you want to toture your friend. I'd recommend this game cuz I had a lot of fun. I wouldn't recommend this game cus I used too much energy. I was completely exhausted when I reached the ending, and even the ending made me laugh.
