Reviews
Buy this game now that it's on sale. Don't look at gameplay, don't even look at reviews too much other than the fact that they're good. I went into this blind as someone who normally doesn't like "games like this" and i'm glad i did. Initially it felt very janky, because it is, but this still was an incredible story driven experience with a lot of interesting twists and nicely developed characters. It's unique and the reviews being this good despite the game being low budget should tell you how good the story really is.
剧情和创意非常不错,只是优化有点差,还有人物模型有些奇怪。但毕竟主要是三人创作的游戏,这就没啥大问题了。总的来说是一款创意和剧情都不错的独立游戏,值得一试。

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

Very, very cool concept, and fun game if you like puzzles. Replayability is somewhat there, too, with different possible endings and plenty of achievements to strive for. I tried for one of the harder achievements after finishing the game, but it's seriously difficult (I assume guides exist that make it easy, but that's not my style lol) and I stopped after a couple brief tries. The time I've got in this game (about 15 hours currently) is almost all just one thorough playthrough. I take my time in games like this - I'm sure you can finish it without knowing anything about it and quickly going through the puzzles in less than 10 hours, but if you do like me you've got a solid 10+ hours of exploring and learning. A few unexpected plot twists. A good ending, IMO. Well worth the money when it's on sale, which seems to be often... Next 11 days at the time of this review it's 75% off at just over $6. Can't go wrong at that kind of price if you like a mystery/adventure/suspense combination of a game. My best advice if you get it? Don't look anything up. This is one of those rare games that's really incredible to play through with no prior knowledge and figure things out as you go.
Цю гру мені порекомендував ШІ на основі моїх вподобань, і це той випадок, коли він потрапив в "яблучко"! Гра чудова, додаю її у список своїх улюблених. Сподіваюсь ще колись побачити український переклад. Сподобалось досліджувати цей світ, його таємниці та інтриги. Момент з часовою петлею додає до гри перчинки. Прикольно, що в кожному витку можна заново збирати гроші із старих скринь :) Під кінець гри я вже була багачкою (дякуючи ще жадобі Дейзіуса) Новим гравцям рекомендую відразу добре запам"ятати шлях до порталу - при гарній орієнтації у просторі "Золотий закон" взагалі не проблема. І рекомендую дійти до "канонічної" кінцівки - вона прекрасна, я навіть сльозу пустила )
Отличное небольшое приключение. Одно прохождение заняло около пяти часов. И ещё почти 4 на закрытие остальных концовок и платину. Без спойлеров про историю не написать. Могу сказать только, что сюжет интригующий, разработчики поразмыслили о концепции греха в философии античности. Порадовала и удивила проработка нелинейности в диалогах и поведении персонажей. Ничего сверхестественного, но приятно видеть, что игра уважает свои же правила. Картинка дешёвая, видно что делали на коленке. Но в целом приятная, особо придраться не к чему. Пока выполнял платину, столкнулся с парой поломок скриптов, из-за которых приходилось отгружаться. Но при первом прохождении никаких ошибок не встретил. Думаю, игра ломается только при спидране за ачивками.
Good storytelling.
Noioso, l'ho abbandonato dopo un paio d'ore.
I LOVED this game and will absolutely play again. For my first run through, I got the 2nd out of four endings (you are told in game there are four potential endings). There are some things I wish I did but honestly, I am super happy with everything I did so far. I cannot wait to play this again. Almost nine hours for my first run, there were so many twists I was not expecting but as I said, I cannot wait to play again!
In general: a good game. It is not something that will blow most of people's mind, but nonetheless it is an enjoyable game. I will recommend it to anyone who is just beginning his journey with exploration puzzle games. This game forgives not being hyper focused on details and often guides the player towards the solutions. I liked the story and motives, the graphics were also very good. I also liked how once solved problems don't need to be solved over and over again in each iteration.
Great game if you like mythology, some history and time loops.
