About

Short, well designed, sometimes surprising and interesting story. For a free game, it's good
Jeu court mais très agréable, j'ai relancé plusieurs parties d'affilée afin de trouver toutes les anomalies, un excellent moment ! Je serais tout à fait partant pour un autre jeu d'énigmes plus long, dans le même univers/direction artistique, même payant !
Quick and well put together. Enjoyed our short time with it!

I am a wuss in general, so I wasn't sure whether to play this, but I'd say there are really only 2-3 things that made me genuinely jumpy -- it's more of a general sense of unease and weirdness, really. Which is not to say that the creepy atmosphere is lacking, because it isn't, especially when you're past a few anomalies and you have the added tension of trying not to mess up. The whole thing is short and sweet, and I found the anomalies relatively clear once I realised what they were; there were two which I found more difficult to spot, but there are only 17 in total, so even if you're not great at it, you can learn quite quickly what they all are. I liked that there was a bit of backstory parcelled out as you successfully navigated rooms, as well; the story isn't long or terribly surprising, but it adds well to the atmosphere. The ending is... well. I think it's hard to end something like this in a satisfying way either way, but I liked that it essentially faded out, and you don't actually ever see anything outside the gondola. It leaves a lot to the imagination, and I thought that was great.

Well done!
Great Visuals reminds me a lot of arcane.
Fun, short (more so for me since I largely knew what to look for) spot an anomaly game. Really cool atmosphere and music. I enjoyed the new anomalies and lighting too.
Ehn, I think you have to be a fan of anomaly games to enjoy this so maybe give it a miss if you're especially repelled by them. It's very basic, including the story, and overall fairly unsatisfying ending. [spoiler] You don't even get to see the queen at the end. [/spoiler] Free doesn't excuse wasting my time and that's what this felt like.
Excellent jeu avec un concept très frais. Un jeu rapide et plaisant, avec une atmosphère angoissante. J'ai adoré ces petites sessions
