Really good puzzle game. Something to learn play it to the end. Scientific instruments that were invented in Islamic golden age are mostly in the game.
Yeah its free so what.
easy to moderate puzzles that give a good brain workout and a history lesson on where our modern technology came from.

Wonderful. thank you for making this game.
Great and challenging puzzles. Suitable for all ages.
For something free, this game is just an absolute delight. Immaculate Arabian nights setting and vibes that lean more into the scientific and historical rather than the fantastical and folkloric, taking you on a journey across the Islamic world during its golden age. Delighting the eyes and ears with charmingly beautiful art and music, while also satiating the mind with facts and information about the many ingenious devices and artefacts engineered by some of history's forgotten scientific trailblazers. Perhaps the only additional thing I wish had been done is giving the player the opportunity to actually use said devices and see them in action, instead of just showing a model along with a written description of them. Nonetheless, it was still an enjoyable little point-and-click adventure reminiscent of the 90s edutainment games I sunk hours into as a child. On the side of the puzzles, they are very disparate with only very little cohesion between them. Fortunately as a lover of most kinds of puzzles, I enjoyed all of them save one or two (I'm not very fond of sliding block puzzles). I have to mention that there seemed to be a bug with the minutes on the elephant clock puzzle for a while. Despite solving it at first, the next event wouldn't trigger until I exited the puzzle and re-entered it.
The point and click sometimes can be a bit frustrating, but this is more of an educational history adventure, its fun too when you figure things out
Very Instructive!
It's pretty cool
I really liked the puzzles, they were a little complicated and some could have used a bit more clarity of explanation before auto completing, but overall I liked it
