For context—I specialize in escape games, particularly the harder Japanese ones (Tesshi-E, Nicolet to name a few), and +90% of the time can solve them without aid. This one is absolutely among the best out there, both this maker in general (Studio Wakaba) and especially this particular game. IMHO this did not initially seem very promising—the first scene seeming neither esp. cute nor particularly clever—but it just goes and goes, unfolding into some breathtaking and beautiful moments with great, unusual creativity. The puzzles were fair, with their usual well-designed hint system. There was more to do (more rooms and more projects) than in the average Studio Wakaba puzzle—longer than the cafe puzzles, I think, but it never drags.Overall a LOVELY game and just a beautiful, whimsical gem of the genre. Studio Wakaba just needs to work on the design of their game icons, because they often do not do justice to the series—and in particular this game!

This game is confusing at the start because you are presented with a lot of clues and inputs that don’t become relevant until much later on. I spent a while trying to find patterns in things that were random (movements of the spider, steam from tea) in order to solve puzzles where I hadn’t seen the actual clues yet. Once I got a hang of the premise — find objects to unlock spells — then I really loved it!

i loveeee escape games, and recently i thought i had run out of any good ones to play, until i stumbled across this developer!! i’ve love all their escape games so far, but this one is definitely my favorite.

This was so so fun- you get to use magic, the puzzles are tough but don’t feel impossible, it was just great! I did wonder why you never learn the truth spell?
