I really enjoyed it! Looking forward to more from this team. I only had 1 issue that was easily worked out by clicking "Reset Game" in the menu. For my playthroughs it acted as a checkpoint restart not a full game restart. The warning message does say, "All your progress will be lost..." so try at your own risk. It put me back to where I needed to be when I completed a puzzle before the storyline was ready. Don't forget to give it a 2nd playthrough, you definitely missed something!

For $3.50 its not bad, 5 stars because it was a very cool experience. There was a hat puzzle that made zero sense and the game is like 1 hour long but it was fun. The weird storyline adds a lot to it, the odd puzzles were right there with it. The map puzzle did feel broken but I think overall it was done well and it felt like a lot of time went into making it something out of the ordinary. Its worth playing if you like point and click adventure games.

This is a GREAT GAME! Excellent artwork, excellent puzzles, excellent story, I also loved the sound effects and ambience. I truly enjoyed this game! I finished it in one sitting...maybe an hour?...with numerous distractions, lol... but, the story and gameplay, for me, was engaging and challenging enough, thoughtful puzzle concepts, you CAN find all the answers if you are observant enough. The story kept me playing and I LOVED the abduction while 'waiting' for the loading screen! BRAVO!
