“TLDR: The 2.5D shift brings genuinely cool new puzzle ideas, but this is an unfinished, buggy product that ends one-third into its own story and apparently will never be finished. PROS: ➕Graphics ➕New perspective adds…”

“One of the first games I played with my eldest. Excellent visuals that kept her hooked, with simple enough controls that she could start with. Highly recommended.”

“this game is underrated tbh while the transition from 2D to 3D gameplay was rough concept wise, the game wasn't hard at all game was fun and felt like a fever dream story might be unfinished, but for what it was in 2015…”

“Terrible decision with the 3D and also the level design, story, character ability changes. It's like they took all the good parts of Trine and removed it all. Do NOT buy.”

“This game is a bit of a mess. They changed it from a sidescroller type of game to a more free roaming one with forced camera angles that made me a bit queasy at times. They managed to ruin the whole reward system too,…”

“6 / 10 (INCOMPLETE GAME) Such a shame the devs abandoned this game. There are a lot of good things going on in there with its 3D gameplay, it definitely needed improvements and touchups in the gameplay mechanics (falling off cliffs at the far ends of the screen, for example). If…”
