Pretty good game. Good puzzles. I mean they were just right... except for the music box puzzle. Screw that! I got past it and its definitely not a deal breaker. Graphics are good. I had some problems with the game crashing because I was switching between windows (Yeah I cheated on 2 of the puzzles). Game saves often and has manual save so no biggie. I really enjoyed exploring and finding all the items. One of the more enjoyable puzzlers I've played.

A short but fun escape room game. If I have a few criticisms, I would say there aren't really that many puzzles in this game, so I would have loved to see more. Also, I felt it was pretty easy to miss the light switches and lamps, so I had some difficult getting around, even after turning up the brightness. Other than that, the game is quite fun!

I was pleasantly surprised by this. For 11$ I had a lot of fun. I was immersed, the story was intriguing, I kept making up my own thoeries. ACTUALLY omg I wish that this game was only the beginning of the story. Was sad when it ended, wish it was longer.. Part 2?? :) Some puzzles I had to draw/write things down which I always love, cause it means it's harder than normal. The puzzles could be harder though cause I like a challenge. Didn't need a walkthrough, didn't do any ''guessing'' everything made sense for me in terms of the clues and logic idk...Just make sure to look everywhere in case you didn't see an item laying around if you're stuck. Overall, great game!!!!!!!!!!! I enjoyed it, cool atmosphere for real.
