Neat game where you are introduced to the puzzle rules as you play. It can deliver a few different "aha" moments, but I do wish it was a lot longer.

Completely worth the price for puzzle lovers.

Good timesink to do while listening to streams or podcasts. Dev is active and has responded quickly to people's problems

A must for any escape room game enthusiasts.

mc2games are one of the most reliable escape room creators you can get on steam. I've enjoyed each of their releases so far and try to snap up their new one as soon as it comes up.

Good mix of puzzles that often require some simmering to figure out. Personally found counting the keys annoying due to my vision issues, but the devs include an official guide on steam which comes with hints so you can get a nudge if you need it. I got a nudge for the red book covers puzzle in the library and just went and grabbed the key solution.

Always a bit sad when it's over, but happy it happened! Worth the asking price for 3-4 hours of game imo

Please consider doing DLC with whatever new nonsense mobile game ads do next! this is very cathartic

What a weird game.

There are so many QoL elements that are missing - things like being able to see your cargo, or it taking two clicks to leave an island, or seeing what the mission requirements are while you are looking at the mission list. There are things that are just... odd - like prompts to press A on screens of things that don't do anything at all, and most importantly there are just clear opportunities that have been missed -- why aren't there more stories told by guilds or travellers? Why are there not more interesting missions using these places at all? How are the costs for barges figured out? Why does the cost increase if I get intercepted by an octopus on the way to refueling? Why can't I see how much the bank's interest has done while I am away?

The game just has so many elements that feel like their combination could produce a really, really cool game, but instead everything seems to be focused on being a chore and teh world seems to be unnecessarily empty and devoid of engagement.

Currently I'm still clearly early on in this game. I have another bottleneck that seems pretty dumb -- i have no access to bricks except a random travelling location, which charges a lot of money, and in order to create a source of brick income I need BRICKS.

Idk - there's just weird little elements to the game that just cause frustration, and if I picture the game with some of these improvements then I guess I can just see that the game doesn't offer much. I think the game would have improved with having a writer and some playtesting. But the game is a few years old so who knows -- there's potential, so I will keep an eye on them -- but I can't recommend teh game.

Game hits me where I needed it. Expansive world to explore, quests to chase and collectables and checklists to complete. If you don't feel like doing anything too brain-draining then you can just whack everything in existence.

yes

If you're a fan of games by Daniel Mullins (Pony Island, Hex, Inscryption), Frog Fractions, Glittermitten Grove or even Doki Doki Literature Club, then this is going to be right up your street. A game that messes with the 4th wall and expectations, with homages and self-aware parodies all over the place.

The game has charm, humour, emotion and is going to either be a cult classic or it's going to be picked up by some streamers who will give the game what it deserves - a larger audience.

The fact that it's free with optional DLC (one which I have to wait until tomorrow to purchase!) is insanity. Absolutely everyone needs to play this.

Downsides? A couple of sections are IMO too difficult, and some of the achievements may take some grinding... but it's a unique experience that you need in your life.

10/10

Really, really, really enjoying this game so far! Only fully cleared one area, barely explored much of the map but it's a great logic puzzle. People will say that this is like a top-down 2D Witness game -- and they wouldn't be too far off.

Logic puzzles all based off of a grid that you can turn each square on/off, or create a path, or perhaps even more -- with rules of play explained by trial and error. Logic puzzling at its finest - a must buy tbh

Great game - puzzles aren't too easy and each hack you do is different enough to keep it interesting. Sort of a mix between Emily is Away and Hacknet.

You basically infiltrate a computer, access files and apps and chip away towards a solution for that stage, whilst also uncovering the thriller storyline. The range of tasks through the game kept it very fresh, and I am now tasked with trying to find more of this sort of thing.

A personal caveat is that there is one particular level that I just could not physically do, due to a sensory disability, however the dev was quick to reply to me via the forums and enabled me to skip that level. being unable to get that level's achievement obviously sucks for a lame completionist like me, but the dev's assistance in and of itself is worth way more.

Fun game, wish there was more!
