top notch! fun, challenging, and attention pulling. i had to force myself to stop playing to go to work this morning
A Fun and addictive new game!!! Insanely well made puzzles
rly rly rly enjoyed this game as someone who loves point and click mysteries. made me feel like i was a kid playing pajama sam/freddi fish. design is 15/10 gameplay is super fun and reminds me of poptropica as well some of the puzzles were a lil bit too convoluted and not super apparent i had a lot of fun and hope to see more from this team :)
Been following the development of this masterpiece for some time… And it didn’t disappoint, what an incredible journey of sp00ky Win95 nostalgia.
This game is so freaking game, you get so much out of it, the devs are AWESOME!!!! the puzzles are head scratcher so being in the discord helps alot! the community and even the devs help!! would rec to everyone!
Legitimately one of the best puzzle games I've ever played. It also has a nice story, but I think the highlight of the game is the sheer ingenuity of some of these puzzles. And to top it all off the art direction of the game is FANTASTIC GO PLAY IT
Absolute cinema! I loved the puzzles and the story and the nostalgia that comes with this game's vibes. Some of the puzzles can be very challenging and I do wish there were more hints available to people who want them, but other than that I loved this game and I wish there were more games like this one!
This was my first puzzle game and i had so much fun!!!!!
非常棒的解密游戏,关于谜题的创新真的让人眼前一亮
This game is just fantastic! All of the puzzles are so clever, they really make you to think outside the box and test your knowledge on PC desktop usage, while not requiring you to have any sort of specialized prior knowledge (except for only one puzzle in my opinion). All of the users' journal entries feel so human and the game's little details really add onto the incredible worldbuilding. I feel like the overall mystery is super engaging as well and I'm especially a fan of how the protagonist is her own character! The ending is really satisfying and bittersweet too in my opinion!
