I really like this developers previous apps so I gave this one a try. The story, sound effects and originality are all great. I think this was a successful attempt to go outside their comfort zone and try something different. That being said, the puzzles were too frustrating. Some made sense and were more or less simple. But others required too much time to figure out the weird puzzle mechanics being introduced. I could have handled it better if I could willingly skip puzzles whenever I wanted but instead the app forces you to try some arbitrary number of times. I spent too long purposefully trying to fail the puzzle so that I could skip and see the story. Eventually I just stopped playing cause it was frustrating.

I absolutely loved this game. Very original and unique, great graphics and stories. It’s the kind of game you don’t want to put down. But unfortunately, I had to stop playing when I got to the last story. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get past the odd puzzles. Kind of like a match 3 game combined with Rock Paper Scissors, and as much as I like puzzle games, this part made no sense to me. If there had been any sort of hint or help functionality, I would have given 5 stars for sure.

This is an interesting if incredibly depressing game in many ways. I do wish there were a way to replay the ending and see the other possible choices, since I disliked some of the puzzles in the last section immensely and don’t really want to replay them. I do not recommend this if you can’t handle really really depressing storylines, however.

This game is truly a masterpiece for mobile gaming. The stories draw you in, getting you emotionally involved, while the puzzles challenge you and help to unfold the story line. I had to look up one puzzle to help me solve it, it can be difficult at times. But it’s an offline game so is great to take on a long plane ride, and the commentary feature is incredible. Coming from a game development background, it’s so cool to hear how the developer chose to do certain things to advance the story or craft puzzles. Highly recommend playing the second time around with commentary on. Great work all around, 5 stars. Warning: can be dark at times.
