“Great puzzle game- very challenging, but fun. Nice narrative too”
— a player, Steam review · 34 hrs played“Recommended for masochist puzzle lovers. Part Witness, part Braid, part Mastermind. Really ramps up the difficulty in the final areas. 7/10. Fun but does get a little tedious.”
— a player, Steam review · 14 hrs played“My visuals were super glitchy and almost sending my into a epileptic seizure. I don’t know what that’s about!”
