« Good game but too expensive for what it is worth if you are buying in USD compared to other currency. TBH this is the most expensive game I bought on steam but not the one with the most content. Somehow kinda felt 被割(美区)韭菜了。 »

« 非常有创意,看得出来作者在文字上下了很多功夫,剧情体量比我预想的大很多。 整体体验不错。 »

« 利用有趣的文字解謎,打造不斷反轉的結局,感人的故事,用一個一個文字拼凑出令人驚訝的3D動畫和圖片 »

« 很久没有见到玩法让我眼前一亮的游戏了,真的天才! 故事本身虽然简短,但是通过全文字展现的方式十分惊艳。谜题围绕文字的组合,拆解,顺序打乱来设计很有意思,瞬间让人感受到汉字的魅力。 唯一不喜欢的地方的是确实有些谜题的解题方方法非常强行,不去沉思三下是根本没办法想到的(一些词语的语意很难联想,尤其是中央大厅那里),如果一个谜题能有多种方式解题就好了(多个不同偏旁,以及一些复杂字能拆更多部分出来) »
