What players say
Another mouse game classic, with great atmosphere and lore , well written characters , i would suggest to play it alone without any youtube videos, better solving puzzles and discover things by yourself , i would highly recommend it and glad we will receive a second game!
never wrote a review before but im dying for a second game i love this game so much !!
