Short but interesting puzzle game. Purchased at $3.30 (on sale from 14.99). Had five hours playtime.

a 2d sci-fi puzzle adventure. A simple game, but very fun. beautiful game. I bought it almost 10 years ago, but never finished it. I'm going to play it another time, because now it's supported by the steam deck, a platform IMHO that's perfect for this type of game.

Una atmósfera brutal. Uno de mis indies preferidos. Le estoy jugando por segunda vez!

People complaining about the game being short clearly used a walkthrough to complete it judging from the playtime. Impossible to complete this in 5 hours without playing the game through a walkthrough, unless you've already played it or you're some kind of genius. Most of the time playing will be taken up by just staring at the screen trying to decipher the puzzles. The vast majority will be looking up help at least once if not a few times, but it is absolutely pointless playing the game if you're going to consistently depend on a walkthrough. And my God some of these puzzles are absolutely mind-numbingly difficult. You'll get so frustrated, you'll be talking to yourself, cursing at yourself. This game will make you look like an absolute lunatic. The story was unexpectedly impressive for the very small team of developers. I didn't think I'd be so immersed. I'd recommend it just for that, especially those who love Sci-Fi mystery. The idea and game concept is great. I'm a bit mixed on the puzzle difficulty. My only gripe with this game is that you will be looking up how to get past some puzzles just for your own sanity. And this is a game where you'll have such a sour taste in your mouth that you 'cheated' considering that the game is all about the puzzles. I needed help with at least 5 of the puzzles and there was absolutely no satisfaction whatsoever in getting past some hard bits. That sour taste just lingers.

Good atmosphere. Plays well on steam deck.
