We spent hours in one room, died once in 2-3 rooms. I even had to check the walk-through to understand what exactly I am supposed to be doing. (maybe me and my husband weren't explaining well. Oh well overall the time we spent on it is worth the money spent on.

Its a very innovative concept using mobile for one side and computer for the other but the mobile gameplay feels quite detached and irritating especially when trying it on PC as you can't rotate your "phone". The puzzles are a lot of fun, very abstract at points and require a lot of in depth thought especially for the last carriage which was 10x harder than the rest of the game but overall it was a really fun and worthwhile game.

We had fun with my brother. Similar to "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" but with escape rooms instead of bomb defusing.

For being 5 bucks on sale it was alright. A bit frustrating when one player is stuck and the other kinda just waits around. The companion 2 player system was decent, however it's not too different from the way coop puzzle games let people help each other while both solving puzzles. For a sale-price it's worth a buy/playthrough, just not groundbreaking.

We loved this game! This is very much for good escape room players since you have to talk and share information a lot. One player has a 3D world and the other has a companion app...both sides have to be inoled constantly in the riddles though. the app seems more simple but you are involved in eerything and give pointers to the player in the 3d world. It is quite the challenge and we had some roadblocks but were able to solve everything on our own. only negative point is that you cannot really switch between roles mid game. this is really challenging and involved coop gameplay and only works with two committed riddle-solvers. if one person resigns you are stuck. highly recommended and one of the best puzzle and escape-room-esques games on steam and we completed a bunch. Thank you devs! Please make more of this!
