hell yea
I bought the game within ten minutes of its release, and I tried out the DEMO of the game. I think the game may be very interesting, but it is only limited to the first chapter. From the second chapter, it is full of strange and obscure puzzles, which may be translation problems or my lack of thinking, but I really don't know how to do it. Most puzzles have a little idea. I am like a student who has been sitting in the math examination room for hours but can only write down the basic formula. Every file is opened and closed, closed and opened again. I also think that the existence of "Pizzaro" which can give tips beside it seems meaningless. I have tried everything he said, but I just can't think of it. It's so frustrating. For me, maybe I prefer to watch other people's customs clearance videos and understand other people's processes. Maybe this is more suitable for people like me who don't like thinking.I think I may have a good understanding of computers, at least I am not stuck by the operation of changing suffixes or looking at attributes, but the puzzle really doesn't have a deeper meaning for me. This game may be more suitable for players who know the basic operation of computers and have strong reading ability.I am the one who only occupies the former, so I think this game may not be suitable for me.By the way, I think it can be cheaper.
之前玩了demo,惊为天人。发售后直接通宵玩,过了好一会儿才过完第一章。可以说里面的解密特别好玩、有趣,虽然有时候谜题比想象的更难或者更简单,导致卡好一会儿,且提示方面给的不太多,不过总体而言是个很不错的游戏。值得一提的是本游戏氛围的塑造甚至超越了一部分解密的乐趣,不论是各类关卡和回忆的bgm,还是解出谜题后的弹窗,都让人沉浸在作者塑造的氛围里。解谜游戏里细分到桌面形式的,这个我愿意给到前几名的位置。
This game had my brain working overtime! Very sad story but well worth the effort!!
Game has very tough puzzles, but the feeling of solving them just feels SO great!. The story to this is so good, It was giving chills the whole way through. I do highly recommend this game to people who enjoy stuff like this!
I wish there were more games like this. 10/10
Incredible. The first part of the game was elite and I loved every second of it. Once we progressed to Maxine's profile it slowed down a bit and wasn't quite as good, but still very enjoyable. I struggled with some of the tasks in Maxine's levels if i'm honest, but once I got the hang of things it got a lot easier.
So far SO good
Das spiel hat ein Paar richtig komplizierte Rätsel aber im großen und ganzen ist es eines der Besten spiele aus 2026
太好玩了,操作交互、谜题设计、故事氛围传达都极其巧妙一体! 玩了像陷进去一样停不下来!
