Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
we dropped this near the end last year, finally finished now. the gameplay took us about 1-1.5h with breaks. my bf yelled a me calling me stupid for something i ended up being right at tho, so beware your relationships if you cant handle a countdown.
Played this with my GF and got yelled at. 10/10
Can write the same as about the prologue game: fun for an evening with a friend, looks good and the puzzles puzzles are not too difficult, but still have you pay attention and talk about them. The story is alright but is more there to give you a reason to solve those puzzles which it does well.
I've had this one for a while, and finally got the time to play it with a friend and I gotta say: it's a TON of fun. If you like puzzle games and have someone to play with, grab it. Even if you don't, MAKE FRIENDS ON THEIR DISCORD. The story is neat, but honestly is kind of secondary to the puzzles and the feeling you get when you solve something together.
♥♥♥♥♥♥ puzzle makes no sense gg
Smart and challenging game!
