Jan. 2026

This game reminds me of how good Doctor Who used to be and also how lame it has become. Overall it was ok especially if you liked the Simulacra games. Overall I will recommend for Doctor Who fans. Has enough good nostalgia to outweigh some of the more modern nonsense.

Super short game. I am not sure what one play through is, read the other comments, I am sure they will tell you. But, if you are a fan of the Whoverse, and like these sort of game, it is a fun little venture.

Jan. 2026

As a Whovian, it was fun to revisit Wester Drumlins and get a glimpse into what happened to Larry and Sally after "Blink" was over. If you can pick the game up on sale, it's worth checking out. Just keep in mind the re-play factor is pretty much zero. I spent about 3 hours play time (some of it AFK as I got distracted by household stuff), so that's something to consider in the price and what you're willing to spend for a one-time experience.

amazing game with fun puzzles, a bit short (not that it was too short just with there was still more to play) DEFINITELY recommend using headphones when playing.

I have sort of a love/hate relationship with this game. To be fair, it was of FANTASTIC quality, and I loved the insanely great graphic inclusions and real-life style of the game. On the other hand, even taking your time as a first-time player, this game is only four to five hours long at MAX. I played for two hours from beginning to finish and it was my first time playing, and I made most of the achievements. So I would say that it's biggest flaw is how short this game really is, no matter what you decide to do in the game. I LOVE Doctor Who, and I am always in love with anything Whovian. So naturally, I do love this game. But I really think they could have done a lot better by making it a bit longer, maybe even at the expense of some of the more unnecessary graphics (ducks!!). I loved the interactive play, and the unique puzzles that actually forces you to *think*, but without being impossible to solve. Overall, I enjoyed the game, it just was literally the shortest game I've ever played. Be sure to stick around after the (unnecessarily long) credits roll at the end of the game (after the call from the Doctor) in order to see which achievements in the game you accomplished! Overall, 3.5 out of 5 stars.
