I loved the unsettling art style and how immersive this game was. A lot of love and care and thought was put into this game. Loved playing it with my long-distance partner as a way to spend time together

fun horror-themed escape-room co-op game with a very unique art-style
i really appreciate how all their games seem to happen in the same universe.
and how they hide secret messages in their communication. there are some really fun easter eggs to be found. these people care about the games they make, that's obvious.

Good game overall. However, the perspective of the player looking at the cube feels less engaging compared to the player inside the room. It would be more interesting if the cube view were replaced with another room, perhaps showing a different time period or another character’s perspective. That kind of contrast could create a more immersive and balanced experience for both players.

The game does not require any kind of lobby system and uses exclusively information passed between the players in order to continue. At the start of the game you can both pick from 2 modes, with the purpose being that after the first completion the second option will let you and the other player swap sides.
Can recommend if you're looking for something interesting and reasonably short. First completion took around 3 hours with the repeat play through taking around 2.

It took me 2 hours to play with my friend. I have no idea how it synced up but we had an amazing time. I reccomend for anyone who is looking for a challenging but fun puzzle game to play with friends!
