The press gave it 70; the people who bought it give it 88 percent. An 18-point gap in the buyer's favour.

What players say

This is a more or less third person puzzle game (although it does zoom in on puzzles from time to time) with an absolutely gorgeous art-style, creepy atmosphere and largely compelling puzzle design. However, while overall I did enjoy myself (and will recommend the game), there are some issues, largely subjective in nature. Firstly, some of the "cutscenes" are of noticeably lower quality than the rest of the game...

Every moment of light and shadow feels like a carefully crafted miracle. 이상한 나라의 아이리스.
HAYULRecommendedafter 5.2hAug 2025Read on Steam
The overall style is very nice, great to look at. Most of the puzzles were too easy and too many were like having to figure out a rubiks cube, which wasn't enjoyable. Also the character moves way too slow.
