Random deaths force you to repeat whole chapters. Boring story. Puzzles are meh. Not my cup of tea.

Very atmospheric, great music and visuals. Thanks a lot to the developers for the game. This is how a mixture of a quest and a visual novel should look like. P.S. do not touch the cable in the second chapter.

Unique visual style and relatively hard to solve puzzles. I'd like to have at least some checkpoints but other than that highly recommend this game. Especially for it's price.

4/10 a point and click game with constantly changing puzzles, that punishes you for a wrong answer or failure in deduction, by killing you and sending you back to the chapter start.
Not my idea of fun, there is a reason this style of game play went out of fashion over 20 years ago!

The drawing is excellent. It's a great old-school style adventure game. I recommend it to fans of the genre!

The game is heavily padded with tedious cutscenes, pointless item usage dialogues, deaths that make you reset 5+ minutes of gameplay, and trial-and-error puzzles.

This game is pretty good. The artwork etc is on point. Be careful though, one wrong move and you will have to start over after a death. Nelset has got themselves a winner.

I really enjoy independent developers and love to see how they put together a unique puzzler. This was interesting in its style and you might be fooled at first by the simple game play. I'll heartily admit to using some hints and guides to move the story along and the solutions to the puzzles were maybe a little off the wall (sometimes literally) but I didn't feel cheated.
My only drawback to the game is that in each chapter you have instant death and then must start from the beginning of that self same chapter. This made trial and error puzzle solving rough and that was when I went to the guides for either a hint or to be sure I was on the right track.
All in all a pleasant experience and I hope this team gets together for a new game in the future.
