May 2025

A ship-wide logic puzzle in a very attractive package. I can't play a lot of games (health reasons) but this was perfect. Great mystery with intuitive controls - I'm late to the party but I absolutely love it.

Feb. 2025

There aren't words for this game. You just buy it, play it, and love it. Don't look anything up. Don't even watch the trailer if you can help it. This game is an experience. I would give anything to be able to experience it for the first time again.

Jan. 2025

I’ve significantly increased my consumption of questionable substances in the hope of inducing severe memory loss. This would let me experience the game again as if it were completely new.

Dec. 2024

This game was so good that my wife, upon finishing it, forced me to play it while she watched. Only downside is it's a once-per-life game.

Sept. 2024

I wish I could play this for the first time again. Challenging detective mystery/puzzle game that isn't frustrating. I love the way the story is revealed through each death you investigate. Beautifully immersive black and white graphics, amazing soudtrack— nothing's been able to top this.
