What players say
3/10 I liked the dev's previous game, 'Behind the Frame', and I was expecting someting similar. This game is just as charming, but it's much more puzzle heavy. The puzzles are nothing special, but sometimes are frustrating, which eliminates the charming, cozy atmoshpere of the game for me. I'd have been much more interested in the story itself, but felt like these puzzles are in the way.
