On value it sits in the top 3 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Creepy Tale 2 ($9.99, scores 57) and Old Man's Journey ($9.99, scores 55), are both worse buys on this math.

What players say
One of the best language puzzle game ever. It's pretty short, the puzzles are interesting and not very mind-killing. The most interesting part of the game is that you actually learn new languages and try to connect them with each other seeing their differences which come from culture of people who talk them itself. And the overall story and ending is pretty interesting. I could recommend this game to all who seek...
Awesome game full of puzzles and a great message throughout. Misunderstanding is the basis of negativity.
Really really good puzzle game where the languages are the biggest parts of the puzzles. Not super long, not super difficult, but a great experience! I'd love more of this!
