What players say
Honestly? I liked it. But I'll admit I bought it when it was on sale, at full price I wouldn't bother. Non remappable keys, the hint system is bit odd. But at sale price? Yeah I can recommend it. Non-linear puzzle where you can tackle any puzzles in order and finding keys to unlock the parts of mansion was fun enough. All in all good way to spend couple of hours.
Very good escape/puzzle game. Similar to Painscreek but shorter and a smaller map, also relies less on reading. There is reading in it, but it's more for lore - only some of the reading leads to puzzle answers compared to Painscreek. 10/10 I recommend it especially if it's on sale.
Fun but could be more interactive with all the cool stuff laying around that always catches your eye but isn't anything. It's also a bit glitchy when you pass through doorways, but that's probably just my lame system.
