awesome.
好玩
被朋友拉过来玩的解密 两个视角都走了一遍 也算是绣湖解密系列的初见。 这个绘画风格有的地方是有点吓人 让人觉着有点毛骨悚然 但是这种不需要局域网也能联机的方式也还是让我眼前一亮。解密难度不算很高，但是也需要一定的思考。但是相比于网上的吹捧总感觉少了一份惊艳感 可能是我没有完整了解这个系列的缘故。 和另一个朋友感兴趣可以用来打法时间 但是总流程的确偏短了 总体来说还算不错。
beğenilecek bir yanı yok.pcden az çok anlayan birinin birkaç günde yapacağı tarzda bir oyun.beleşe verseler pc de yer kaplamasın diye indirmezsiniz.vasatın altında bir oyun bunu beğenen arkadaşlara güvenip aldım fakat hayatlarında ilk oyunları sanırım oyun görmemiş olmak lazım bunu beğenmek için
内容很有意思啊，算是自己玩的第一个绣湖的作品。讲述的故事也能很好理解，游戏内容脑洞很大做的很好。和亲友第一次的双人游戏游玩！嘻嘻差不多四小时完结撒花ww

Oyun iki kişi gerektiriyor arkadaşım yok diye düşünmeyin ben adlıktan sonra dc'de oynamaya hevesli biri buldum ve beraber keyifli oynadık. Sarıyor güzel oyun tavsiye ederim.
游戏有bug玩不下去，在第二章需要正确点击8次图案并且按下气泵来排出血液，正确点击8次后无反应无法继续游戏
Wow, what a game. Its amount is perfect. the puzzles are not hard nor easy. It just makes you go through the perfect experience. I thank the devs for such a great game.
