Before looking at time played, I have played 4-5 hours worth offline This game's story is a little confusing and its design is VERY simple. But this is a case where a simple point and click riddle adventure can make for hours of fun. The riddles are genuinely challenging and the environments are quite pretty. After all the time playing....im stuck.... But i do recomend this game if you have time to kill and want to challenge your brain. Also fun to race a friend to the end...i lost but it added to the fun 8/10

Currently on my first playthrough. Nonetheless, there are some things I just have to mention. Pros: + atmospheric, creepy + most puzzles are logical + super creepy sound effects and music + there's a map for quick-travel + the sheep. My God, the sheep. Cons: - weird plot hiccups - some puzzles are completely baffling (I have to do ..uh, what, here, exactly?) - no indication of what you can take/not take in the environment - only one HOP so far... - the translation. My God, the translation. All in all, I'm enjoying it. I'll update this when I've finished the game.

Point & Click adventure game with a great "creapy" atmosphere. Please be aware that history itself doesn't make a lot of sense (even the ending doesn't explain anything) but fortunately the game is saved by it's variety of puzzles which are on the difficult side. A good 6 or 7 / 10 for me

I played this game once in 2015, 2018, and 2021. The art style is fantastic, unique, and timeless. I mean really, brownie points on the art style. Every time I've played the game, I've enjoyed it. As much as I love the game, there are some major flaws that need to be addressed before I would recommend someone to buy this game: As many people have mentioned, the typos in the paramount narrative scenes, are really really distracting. I understand that the dev is not an born english speaker, but to ask $10 for error littered dialogue and on screen text is unfair. Also, word choice at times is strange. The plot falls flat, incredibly flat. To be honest, for how much effort was put into the art style, I was expecting a better plot. If you read the game summary, it has absolutely nothing to do with the game itself. So avoid the game summary because it is completely irrelevant to the game. The plot at best is a 4/10, it is so vague and empty. However, I see alot of potential for this to become a truly great game. There are many times when what you need to do next is not obvious. This creates very choppy game play. Overall I wouldn't consider this game complete. I do think it's worth being revisited and being perfected and cleaned up, there is so much potential in this game. Would love to see an update or new release. To the dev: The atmosphere is there, the art style is there, and you seem to have a place you are drawing your inspiration from for the plot. The game is too short, and the story you're trying to tell suffers because you jammed it into a game too short to successfully carry it out. Complex, multidimensional plot lines need detail,space, and good delivery for it to hold a players attention and for it to even make sense. Keep at it, the game has good bones.

Mouse based puzzles were incredibly punishing and didn't allow for small, human movements. Ending was a let down, story was not fleshed out. Very hard to navigate without a guide since the item interactions were not guaranteed to work unless placed in very specific positions.

A quest gradually turning into crap. Puzzles are OK, but some actions are truly unobvious. one puzzle (with the radio) is just broken. (you have to play a different tune than the key) The worst thing is that this "artistic" graphics makes impossible to discern things. You just need to use your sixth sense to guess that you need to click that grey dot, one of hundred on the screen, because it represents hatch while others represent stones. Near the end of the quest you suddenly have to start playing realtime, shooting squares with precision and speed of Counter-Strike Pro and without a single error. Gamers with disabilities - don't even try this game, you will be disappointed. After that you get a bummer instead of ending. It is not scary or instructive - it is just stupid. This is a very weak game.

I strongly recommend it. It has a really great dark heavy atmosphere, with some nice eerie cutscenes (I just love the narrator's voice). There is a good variety of puzzles (some very hard to solve, some easier) which is great. I wish there was more games like this one having both a compelling story and strong puzzles.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad game. Just not good enough to recommend. The gameplay is point and click puzzling solving which is actually pretty solid. The main problem is that the puzzles range in difficulty from easy to just plain crazily convuluted and overally complex. This makes the game feel tedious and frustrating. The challenge is all over the map and it breaks the game in my mind. The game is relatively short, but I feel the price tag is justified for the amount of time you'll probably spend as you try to trudge through the puzzles. The game has a lot of gore, but they went a bit overboard with it, and it doesn't feel scary at all because of it. I do, however, feel that the art syle works for what they were trying to achieve and is one of the main highlights. The story is fragmented and poorly delivered, with no closure at the end. It has no replayability. There is literally nothing different if you play the game a second time, unless you want to try and replay it for some achievements. Hardly seems worth it to randomly click the screen 5,000 times for a single lousy achievement. The "play the game for three hours" achievement seems bugged, so this screws those who likes to try and get a 100% rating in games. Lastly, I had minor issues with the game in terms of funcationality. There's no options menu to fix the screen resolution, sound, etc. You're forced to play in full screen. This would be fine if my game didn't crash when I tried to alt tab out if it was necessary. This wasn't always the case, and luckily the game's auto saving is good, otherwise it would be a complete trainwreck. Although an honest attempt was made and there are some good points, "tedious" is really the best way I can describe this as a whole.

I have at the time of writing this, nearly 30 hours of time in. Most of this is me starting over again and again while I was recording my walkthrough videos. With that in mind, I want to share my thoughts about this game with you. First: Are you are a fast action, first person shooter, explode first ask questions later kind of person? If you said yes and get bored reading a review half way through then this isn't the game for you. This is a point and click adventure puzzle game. There is no combat mechanic in it. The game makes you think. So if you enjoy puzzles and creative and/or critical thinking then this may be something you like. Second: Are you used to games holding your hand? Do you skip the dialog knowing the answer is in the journal or marked on the map for you? If you said yes then this may not be the game for you either. This game has a story and a plot. This game has a clear direction your character is going in. The difference is that it doesn't tell you what that is. The character has no clue what is going on and so why should the game tell you? Third: Are you a snob for perfect grammar and spelling? Do you judge a game by its sound effects? music? graphics? If you said yes then this may not be the game for you either. This game was created by a polish company. Words, Spelling, and Grammar don't always translate well the first time. The development team is working on fixing that of course, but people like to take their shots when they can. It's a translation issue not an intelligence issue. Also the game isn't full of CGI or motion capture cut scenes. They use very well done stills and limited animation paired with an excellent narrator and music to get the mood across. There will always be someone who has something bad to say about a game. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But look carefully at what they are saying before you judge the game by their words. This game is thought out, well designed, and the challenges require observation, problem solving, and some skill. Some of the puzzles are static puzzles, others are random, but no puzzle is repeated in the game. tl:dr ? If this is where you skipped to don't buy the game. It isn't a game for you. If you are here for a summary? ok then. Classic Point and Click Adventure Puzzle. A throwback to the 90s Good graphics and music set the mood and theme for the game. Controls? they are exact, no room for error Replay ability? low unless you are a completionist and want those achievements!

If you liked Myst and enjoy spooky/dark atmosphere, this is a good game for you. The puzzles were challenging but not impossible. The only negative is that this game was trasnlated to english (from polish I think) and the translations are a bit off, you definitely get the jist of what they're saying but it often comes off as a little goofy which detracts a bit from the dark atmosphere. All in all, a good point and click puzzler with unique artwork/graphics.
