GOOD GAME
TLDR: Great Game, enjoyed it alot. Cannot recommend more if you enjoy this genre of Game. The Puzzles were intuitive and never too hard or too easy; The Narrative is extremely well done, some part of the game gave me actuall chills and did unsettle me, which is somewhat rare for me. The whole design of the game, especially the sound design is also superb, normally I listen to the usuall background noise while playing a game, but I found myself so immersed into this game that I did not need it and felt activly annoyed by anything other than the game, well done. The only thing I would like to add for the developers is the pacing, I found the first Chapter to be awesome and perfect in length, but the whole Nextrooms part of the game (while narrativly important) took what felt like ages to complete, after beating that Desktop Explorer I was a bit sad to see that the Tower was somewhat short in comparison (maybe something for the future?) But I never once felt like my time was being wasted. Thank you for producing this work of art. Cannot wait to see whatever comes next. (Ignore my spelling mistakes :) )
支持脱离圆神家庭
A very unique puzzle game based on operating a PC. I have seen the same concept done elsewhere, but this game utilizes basic operations of PC in a very clever and creative way. Highly recommend if you love a puzzle game with unique ideas, engaging mystery and logical puzzles. Note: please expect you may need to type in your chosen language for several scenarios.
great puzzles, sometimes challenging but always achievable if you think outside the box! the story was pretty good! not sure if the ending held up to the intrugue of the mystery before it was known but i enjoyed how human the story felt, the diary entries/ chatlogs are wonderful and feel incredibly real and i loved learning about the characters and what they'd been through. could've been scarier, but i don't know if this is actually a horror game, more scooby doo. i ♥♥♥♥ with scooby though.
Très sympa
Tricky.
So far this is absolutely fantastic. I'm not normally a puzzle game person, but the style and type of game this is really drew me in. Style, music, and general feel of the game are all fantastic. Only a few hours in so far but the puzzles are difficult but solvable even for a moron like me after a bit of thinking.
Amazing Story and Gameplay!
A genuinely exceptional experience
