The story to this game is so rich. You know sometimes when you play a game, it seems like its dragging on until its not interesting because of all the stuff you have to do? well this is not it! cant wait for the next one!
Well well well. I just finished the game. Took me around solid 4-6 hours. Puzzles sometimes are dangling but overall, this was a breeze. Some fresh air among horrible games. This game is done by single dev, with some contributors to audio and stuff and I loved it, surely there are some small bugs here and there, but I liked it. I would def want to see the continuation of this game to see what will someone be doing...
