Lasted about as long as sitting in church. Felt the same too.

It was a dry, slower game, but rich in its world building. I just wish the story was a bit meatier (and I've never been a huge fan of the silent protag). Still, it was well done in a lot of ways, and worth the 3.89 CAD I spent for it.

Finished the game in 3.3 hours (must admit, I did check the developers guide a couple of times towards the mid/end, turned out I'd missed a few interactable items) but still a decent number of fun little puzzles/wordplay hints. Would recommend for a couple of chill hours play, worth the $4 or $5.

Really like this. It's very different from the normal RPGmaker game loop. The puzzles are intensive and the story/lore is very imaginative. Despite the entire game taking place in (mostly) one location, the world feels very lived in and tangible.
The puzzles can be a bit difficult since it involves a LOT of reading, but at least for me it hooked my attention as none of it felt out of place or that I was learning about something useless. Again, the lore is really cool and very well thought out. I highly recommend playing this!
