I had fun. The game is fairly short, and it has aspects of hidden object games, but in a 3D space.
The game is mostly exploring, picking things up and examining them, collecting keys to open new doors, and solving puzzles to advance in some way; either also unlocking doors or removing obstacles. I found the puzzles to be fun, they weren't crazy difficult and many of them felt familiar from other analogues in traditional hidden object games I've played.
Maybe that content of having played hidden object games before gave me an edge, but I didn't find many of the puzzles hard to understand. Usually it was easy to figure out but still a little tough, or one where you have to essentially figure out a pattern or meaning to solve the puzzle.
There is a little exploration, but honestly it's usually pretty clear where to go unless you're hunting for collectibles; the game has a lot of achievements and the vast majority of those are from picking up and examining various objects. There are also some other ones linked to certain progress or events in the game, but at least 85 of the 100 achievements I think are related to finding these objects that are sometimes hidden or wedged into hidden spots.
There are a few of these objects to find for the achievements that are positioned in such a way that the game will not display the reticle to pick up and examine them. So, even if you find where they are hidden, sometimes the object interaction is so poorly designed that that there is no way to actually collect them. I wasted a lot of time having to adjust my position over and over and keep moving my camera around. Sometimes for whatever reason turning off my flashlight seemed to help?
There is also one very obnoxiously-implemented kind of jumping puzzle in order to find a few more of those objects for achievements.
The jumping is kind of unresponsive... Which, before I explain why this last couple of items are obnoxious to get, this would be a good time to also explain the only other major thing that I dislike about the game, which is the movement. The mouse moves really sluggishly even with the mouse sensitivity turned all the way up. It's hard to describe but looking around, moving, and jumping all feel like they are on a delay. So the jumping is pretty bad, but I didn't find even those limited sections of jumping to be that bad, the jumps are spaced very predictably.
However, there is one completely option jumping section that is really just for grabbing a few collectibles for the achievements, and those jumps are challenging on purpose. Challenging jumps would be fine in a game with passable movement, but with the weird delayed movement in this game, these more difficult jumps are frustrating to the point of overkill. I think this should have been toned down, even the way to get up to perform that jumping puzzle is really poorly telegraphed. This is adjacent to one of the times the game will freeze you in place while some in-game scene plays out and I also was incredibly annoyed any time my character was stopped because you walk slowly enough that I really don't think there's any danger of you missing something or reaching something too soon.
But the achievement hunting aside, I was able to get used to the delayed movement and just enjoyed doing the puzzles and seeing how the story unfolds. It's not super long for if you wanted to replay it to look for achievements, and it goes pretty quick once you know how all the puzzles work as well.
