« Decent game, but short. Also it felt like there was some leaps towards the end. »👍 anonymous review · Mar 2026 · 2 h played1« This was a very fun and entertaining little game. There isn't a whole lot to it, but the puzzles are enjoyable and the story is very well written. I especially liked the multiple endings and the atmosphere of the game. »👍 anonymous review · May 2026 · 2 h played1« What a gem ! A short game, but worth every penny. The story was well thought, and not too far-fetched. I had a great time ! »👍 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 2 h played« Fungi people will LOVE this one »👍 anonymous review · May 2026 · 1 h played« Très très chouette, l'ambiance est très simple mais diablement efficace, l'interface est charmante, et l'histoire bien que courte est très bien fichue, j'ai beaucoup aimé ! Un jeu parfait pour occuper quelques heures ! »👍 anonymous review · May 2026 · 2 h played
« The idea sounded good, but the execution is... meh. If you want to make a wiki as a base of your game - make it believable. Missing some obviously major details in the articles feels cheap. »👎 anonymous review · Mar 2026 · 1 h played« Starts interesting, but plot is predictable and gets boring super fast. Instead of feeling as a detective uncovering hidden truths, I felt more like an operator of a very obtuse mail client speaking to robots. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 1 h played« Très sympa, mais très court, compter 1h30 pour le finir en prenant le temps et la taille du wiki est assez restreinte au final, ça donne presque l'impression que le jeu fini quand on a fini le tuto. »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 2 h played« Felt like an investigation journalist for three hours strait, loved it, would recommand to all those who like a well tied up mystery :D »👍 anonymous review · May 2026 · 3 h played
