I like puzzle games but this one was really meh. Other reviewers say the story is 'dark' and good, but it literally feels like a childrens story. The puzzles themselves were OK at best, just a string of mediocre puzzles then suddenly the game ends at the 2h mark. If this is on a mega sale then I'd say go for it, but for an experienced puzzler this game didn't really hit the mark.

Decent narrative and simple puzzles, though the game doesn't exactly break new ground. It’s a pretty good plot concept, but it feels like something is missing. The visuals are excellent. I want to support the artists as they put a lot of efforts into achieving such high-quality hand-drawn visuals
