Another mystery game, this one with more focus on puzzles. Each area has puzzles to solve, with clues given via notes you can find. They did a good job making the puzzles feel like part of the environment rather than just being puzzles for the sake of puzzles.
The majority of the puzzles had “a-ha” moments and are quite good at using logic instead of just trying to guess (although you may start out by guessing, looking around more and finding something helpful). One puzzle was dreadful, though, a Simon-says that relies on very slightly different musical notes (I couldn’t tell two of them apart at all). It’s split into stages (one note, two notes, three notes, four notes, six notes) however for some unknown it resets the entire thing if you make a single mistake. It’s not a thoughtful puzzle in any way, brings the game to a halt and is an accessibility issue.
The story behind it is intriguing, although the main twist is pretty obvious long, long before the main character realises it. It’s a pretty interesting game with some puzzles that are fun to solve.
Fun
