Tough puzzles, great art and narrative

Enjoyed this short adventure puzzler from Pixlab. They are new to making games so bear that in mind as they are learning as they make each new one. However, the full game is priced accordingly, and they are very responsive to helping out if you get stuck.

Hope they continue to apply what they learn and make more games!

Excellent challenges

Great brain wrinklers everywhere, though the difficulty was not consistently increasing, (which is pretty nice in a way, allowing me to relax during the less stressful tasks).

I have to say though (spoilers), the ending double plot twist was a bit tragic…I wanted more of the adventure, and the sudden time travel and the alluded conclusion of a feverish hallucination was a rather unsatisfactory finale…

But still, giving 5 stars for the fantastic art, music and teasers!

Fantastic and challenging

Some of the puzzles were just fun, and others such as the merchant had me pulling my hair out and asking for help from all over, but once figured out it was so satisfying! Story, music and art were soothing and wonderful, and I hope there’s a sequel to this one furthering the journey! Worth the few dollars!
