real cute and fun, not too difficult but enough to keep it interesting and just creepy enough to put you on edge. Good way to spend a couple hours with a friend.

Absolutely amazing. I'm always looking for non violent games to play to just relax but still be able to involve my best friend who lives in another city. This game was perfect for that.
the puzzles are engaging and require you to think without being impossible. I particularly appreciate that nothing required outside knowledge. Every puzzle could be solved with information from one of the two screens. Almost always we just had to describe the room or situation to help hint each other.

I really enjoyed the puzzles and discovering the story with a friend. It was interesting how the locks in the game so that one player couldnt accidentally advance without the other. I also like that it didnt require a super complicated online connection. I was able to join a vc with a friend and immediately begin playing. No internet hassel, no friending issues. Just straight to the game. I am planning to play the second part and flip roles.

The game requires two players to solve puzzles, and the experience is highly intriguing. One of the puzzles is time-limited, both have to describe the symbols precisely so that the other would do the next step. As usual, the puzzles don’t require complicated deduction. Just take a closer look, click all suspicious items harder, then you may make some progress.
But the most fascinating thing about this game is the concept of past and future, life and death, and the meaning of the colors of the box. When you think about it as usual way, you’ll get stuck. Maybe we’re not living on a straight, one-way line, but in multi boxes that connect and affect one another.
Suffice to say, this is not just a game, but also a deeper inquiry into the core of living beings.
