User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
I originally bought this game in 2016 for my chonky 18 inch laptop with a desktop grade Intel core i7-6700k GTX 980, it was fun then, its fun now. Currently rocking a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RX 9070 XT, running the game at the maximum graphics preset in 4k, super sampled up to 8k, the game is beautiful and still gets over 60 FPS, about 67 on average. The game has fun mechanics and puzzle solving elements, and to beat its not too long either, it knows not to overstay its welcome, which stops it from getting boring or frustrating. While I dont think the game is worth $20 today, I would say its a good game to pick up for a day or three if it goes on sale and you want something thats cozy, but not going for that cozy vibe.
