Me esperaba mucho más de este juego, por las buenas reseñas, pero ha sido bastante decepcionante. Sí es cierto que para la poca gente que ha trabajado en el desarrollo lo han hecho bien, pero la historia (que debería ser el punto fuerte) me ha aburrido desde el minuto 1, mucho texto que no servía para nada útil y ni si quiera era entretenido, y bastante fumada todo. Además, para platinar el juego tienes que usar una guía sí o sí, porque hay cosas que nunca se me hubieran ocurrido...
从头到尾玩完才能真正感受到这个游戏的剧情巧妙之处,游戏中任务引导设置的正正好好,既不会提示玩家太多细节以至于失去游戏解密乐趣,也不会缺少任何必要的提示,画质剧情极佳,因为没有体验过老滚的mod版所以买之前没想到这么好玩,最后一个结局为故事画上了完美的句号,包括每个角色的故事。 9.8/10

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

When I bought this game I expected a deep game in Decision Making or at least in the Time-Loop mechanic. I just got a game that complete misinterpret roman history and culture with a superficial modern vision of what it was. The decision making is really almost not existent. The characters are lame. The complete story is also lame. The dimension of the game is lacking. And the mechanics are unpolished. Could had been great, it isn't. Do not buy.
This game is like a 2.5/5 for me. While I don't think it's *that* bad, still I would say I don't recommend it. Just go play The Outer Wilds, it's an extremely similar game that is far superior in basically every aspect. If you've already played The Outer Wilds like me, you'll likely be disappointed by what feels like a poor facsimile. I would only suggest buying this if you pick it up on sale and are looking to kill a day (maybe a weekend) playing it. The puzzles are extremely simple, to the point that they don't really feel like puzzles (this is even with all hints and markers turned off). Figuring out in what order you need to select certain dialogue options is honestly more puzzling than anything else. The story of this game can be summed up as "im 14 and this is deep." Definitely not award-winning quality but it could be a lot worse I guess. The writing is not great, but again could be a lot worse. The ending felt so far out of left field [spoiler](and yet cliche)[/spoiler] that there was no feeling of a payoff. Upon reading these reviews I'm realizing that this evolved out of a Skyrim mod that I played 10 years ago and didn't remember until now, so that's cool I guess. However it also explains the clunky and outdated movement, platforming, and combat system. The game would be better off without the latter two.
ABSOLUTE CINEMA! This is the best way to commute for detective game. i.e., if you know you can just uncover things quickly, not just straight line story but puzzling question. Best boss fight ever.
还不错,不过预期不需要太高,是个略微传统的时空循环故事,真结局最后还有两场不得不品的经典西方嘉豪哲学辩论环节(且感觉说完了也是毫无营养),但是胜在游戏媒介独有的代入感,游玩体验还是不错的。加上还是个脱胎于老滚mod的三主创独立游戏,还是可以给到一个很好的评价。 特别最后真结局的日后谈非常满意,种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆,总之值得一玩 有点理解作者想表达的,不同神话体系的一些故事设定都意外的相似,[spoiler]让我想到小时候看贴吧有人说因为神话故事相似证明上古人类之前有魔法时代这种令人哭笑不得的发言[spoiler]
Absolutely oniric and enchanting universe served by a genuine plot-twist, the loop gameplay is pretty fun, especially when you encounter the golden rule, the only disappointing part is the woke ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but otherwise It's worth playing and cheap for a project coming from a Skyrim mod.
オモシロカッタ…… ハゲガスゴイイイヤツ,,,, シンエンド、トテモ大団円……ヨカッタ
剧情可以,群像不错。
体量刚刚好,叙事也扎实,还有我最喜欢的神话大杂烩环节,唯一的缺点就是开局1h需要理清全角色比较牢
