« Very nice game ! Music and design set a nice ambiance and the gameplay is pretty fun and addictive. I enjoyed finishing the main story line and will for sure come back for completion. »

« Ingenious game. I feel more like I am solving an incrementally difficult puzzle across eight hours rather than playing a turn based RPG. I can’t think of another game I’ve played that made me feel that way. »
