“A great short old-school point & click game with an engaging story and puzzles. I loved it.”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“Highly engaging storyline though the game was shorter than expected. The puzzles are linear and light enough so I could be more immersed in the plot than the mechanics.”
