— a player, Steam review · 216 hrs played“This is a real workout for the brain in the best way. The challenges progress nicely and always leave you trying to learn more and improve your gameplay. The kind of game you can get absorbed in easily.”
— a player, Steam review · 82 hrs played“Please make a second one, this time with the correct verbiage and "look" for each machine. Please include the need to make your cleanroom "clean" Its fun, but it could be a lot more realistic and educational.”
