Fun with room for improvement
Very good overall, but the 360 movement of inventory items is unnecessary and frustrating

I think it’s really good I enjoyed the puzzle games
The storyline is actually quite cool, the way the rooms flow into the puzzles is also quite nice, however a few of said puzzles are dreadful. Especially the tower and the last couple, the very final one is pure trial and error just a hassle.
I usually don't like these room escape games because things are so hard to find and have no proper logic, but this one is really good. I'm surprised it hasn't got more reviews, gameplay is really nice, story as well, puzzles are nice
There isn’t much to say except brilliant… the puzzles and challenging by fun and the room and beautiful due to the amazing game graphics
The game is overall amazing and is well thought through for the most part, the rooms link up nicely and once you’ve thought you completed a room it turns out there is more to do there which I really like. However the reason that it isn’t 5 stars is because of some of the puzzles, such as the tower of Hanoi, shuffle puzzle and the last two all don’t really require any strategy or logic they are all just brute force and trial and error “puzzles” causing them to get repetitive and boring. Other than that the game is great and the ending was an excellent twist which was well though out and was even hinted at the beginning with the seagull.
Love this game. I thought it was really well made and challenging but I’m confused by the end! Do I just play over and over and over and over? I want more a number 2 or something I need more. 😂
A very nice blend of story and puzzles with the story completing the intro perfectly. From what I can tell this is either an individual person or a small/ starting out team/ group as this is their current only game but plays extremely well, nice art style as well. I have to agree with another user that the brute force /trail and improvement puzzles are a bit annoying but they go along with the theme, maybe some sort of text like “ I can’t remember the code” or something to incorporate them into the story rather then having them as just an obstacle would have been better. I would have liked it to be a bigger game to take longer and have more puzzles and more story but that’s just me being greedy for more after enjoying what was there. So overall great game and hope there are more with similar style to come from this creator in the future :)
Over too quickly
Some good puzzles but let down by others, especially at the end. The shinobi tower and the door sliding puzzle are just one of those things that take an age and aren’t that fun. But the last two puzzles of the 4 colour square and the grid of buttons, that’s not a puzzle. There’s no thought or logic besides repeatedly having to brute force attempt and remember the past failures to eventually make a long Simon says memory result
