What players say
The graphics are better than the first game (which is to be expected), other than that? It is lackluster in comparison. The puzzles are incredibly simple, there is no risk of death at all whereas the first game had several dangers, the gameplay itself was even shorter than the already short playthrough of the first title. A bit disappointed with this one.

While visually appealing, this games plot is all over the place. It seemed to have way too many notes to read that would give little bits and pieces of a story but still. I beat the entire game in 3 hours and still have no idea what the story was trying to say or what kind of message was attempting to be pushed by the writer. Gameplay wise, it lacked any structure of a storyline and was quite frankly confusing at...
This is one of my favorite games. I originally played Lifeless Planet on GOG and when I saw both came on sale here on steam I thought I should get them. I am glad I did this is just a fun game and so is the other one. It is a bit hard but not too hard. a lot of exploring to do and a lot to do. Hope this company makes more of these a lot more.
