I like the puzzles and story. It was not so short game for its price. Not the best puzzle game for sure but i enjoyed playing it.

In any case, recommended for lovers of the genre.

I disliked it so much I considered not to complete the game but played it to the end (in second half quickly with walkthrough) out of curiosity just to see if the whole game is so bad and it indeed was.So there is: a) a truly horrible controls with often tiny active spots so the game has lots of pixel hunting. You cannot just move cursor but need to move whole person in searching for active spots and forget about modern features of adventure games as possibility to show all active spots at once.b) There are tons of close-ups with various details as in a hidden object game and you need to carefully inspect all of them as sometimes they are needed for progress but often these details are just useless. I remember similar feature worked quite well in Sherlock Holmes games as it was not overused but here it seemed to me just annoying.c) You sometimes need to combine items in particular order without any reason. So A+B works but B+A not. Often combination of several items with observations icons (that you get after noticing something) is needed with little hints as why you should do it that makes the game combining nightmare. It is usually a exercise in: "How to do simple things in most excruciating way possible" just to prolong the gameplay time.d) Story takes inspiration in Broken Sword games with some twists, but is just worse written. If you are interested in similar theme, I would recommend watching a movie The Ninth Gate instead.On plus side there is decent graphics and music in the game but overall playing was so bad for me that I can give only 1/10 score.

Ohter times, they make you talk several timesi to the same person for the right option to appear, something which again is counterintuitive. I've played many game adventures and solved them without having to seek for external help, but on this one I had to look for advice a 3 or 4 times. The first one because I was really stuck and the rest because I just lost patience knowing that the solution would be something either not obvious or hard to guess due to the control system. Finally, many reviews complain about the port to Switch and low frame rate but I have to say that they must have solved the issues cause I did not see any FPS problems.
