« It's a fun, mildly spooky puzzle game inspired by rusty lake. I'm super excited to uncover the mystery and lore. Only gripe is not being able to adjust the sound levels within the game settings? »

« The 1st entry in Dark Dome's Hidden Town series. It all starts with a little curiosity and a small abandoned house. Before you know it, you've stepped into a much bigger world. »

« J’attendais ce jeu avec impatience, mais grosse déception ! J’ai vraiment eu l’impression de jouer à une démo, énigmes tres faciles et histoire pas assez développée. Dommage, car le potentiel était là »

« Very short point and click puzzle game. Finished it and the "premium content" in about 35 minutes combined. Not much deviation or freedom in the order of solving the puzzles. Solve A to get item for B to get item for C to get item for D. »
