What players say
I'm generally pretty picky when it comes to puzzle games. The story is short and sweet. The puzzles are very straightforward. And while I tend to dislike puzzle games that use inventories, at least when finding, combining, and using of items is required to progress, the inventory in this game is VERY intuitive and if you think you can do it, you almost certainly can. There aren't any significant "Easter Egg Hunts"...
