cons

❌slow character animations. main character also can't run and slowy walk everywhere
❌the resolution is fixed at a 4:3 aspect ratio and can't be changed
❌janky mechanics in the first map puzzle. you have to draw precise connections between different places on the map; otherwise, it didn't trigger to the next scene
❌most puzzles require some sort of esoteric knowledge and thinking. that makes the puzzle solutions really obscure
❌some really time-wasting and tedious-to-solve minigame-type puzzles
❌iffy english translation with odd phrasings
❌very linear gameplay. If you forgot to do something, you'll be stuck.
❌there are no steam achievements

Overall, this is hard but a decent and enjoyable old-school point-and-click adventure game with a classic horror story.
