July 2025
A nice little game, basically an adventure with more inclination to classic puzzle solving. You awake in a hotel room with no context or information of who you are or what are you supposed to be doing. By finding items and documents you start to get an idea of what's going on, barely. There's a promise of a more intricate plot with lots of other threads that are open, references to things that never come. The game ends abruptly as if the devs ran out of budget or they just didn't want to answer more questions. The core gameplay consists on finding a ton of items, deduce which ones are useful and which are just red herrings or flavour, and then either combine them or use them to solve some puzzle. There are also classic puzzles in the rooms like replicate a short melody (sorry tone deaf people), find a password to open a safe, etc. There's a weird maze around half of the game, which is a nightmare for 100% achievement hunters because of RNG. But other than that, the game is ok. It's a good recommendation if you liked games like "The Eyes of Ara", although not that long nor interesting.

A interesting mystery overall. It's best if you go in blind. The puzzles are slightly higher than normal difficulty but if your patient, you have very unique story that lingers.

Picked this up on sale. It was fun, and the puzzles and environment were well put together. That being said, it was way to short for it's regular price. The length feels like something you would pick up as a demo, not a full game... I suppose I would recommend it. But wait until it is on sale. Otherwise it is not worth the price.

Absolute masterpiece of an escape room / short puzzle game. Really made me use my shrimp brain some times. Only downside of this game is that it left me wanting more. But for the right prive this 2-3 hour puzzle game is worth it
