a very cute and captivating game
+ ładna rysunkowa grafika + dobrze wymyślone puzzle + dodatkowa plansza dostępna po otwarciu pewnego pliku w folderze gry B) (po zakończeniu głównej rozgrywki) + ukryte koty - bardzo krótka (2h) - żeby zobaczyć oba zakończenia, trzeba ją przeklikać od początku (choć nie zajmuje to długo)
好玩好玩好玩 玩到后面隐约感觉有第四面墙的设定……非常有趣非常萌的作品 消灭人类暴政 世界属于三眼！
Bought this game in the "Second Maze bundle" and was really surprised by how much i liked it compared to the other 2 games. The puzzles are simple and only a 2 stumping me for a few minutes. The story is enjoyable. The art style is also fantastic.
画风真的太喜欢了，非常可爱的手绘彩铅，安静好听的音乐，解谜也不难，就是最后一个成就藏得比较深。非常适合打折入很合适
一個挺短的解謎遊戲 整體來說還是不錯的 謎題也不會太難 但真的很短 很可惜 打折的話還挺推薦的 可以消磨時間
很短，然后戛（ry 但是挺有趣的，谜题设计不错，奇奇怪怪的要素也很多，推荐打折入。 嗯……不过游戏本身如果只是这样的内容的话，有点让人没有探索全成就和额外内容的欲望诶。 中评吧，。
я мегамозг я на лету решал все ОЧЕНЬ сложные головоломки
一般 5元以内可入 再高划不来
What a quirky game. Very charming but also kind of horrifying by the implications of the story.
