Steam review snapshots
Of all the clues to resolve in the game, none before the [spoiler]post game[/spoiler] felt unreasonable and only a single one other…The game world you have before you for exploration varies by run (day), and the puzzles you have before you vary by…This is itself a kind of puzzle and constitutes a basis for gameplay especially since moving from one place to another costs…It's bad because it prevents the player from chasing one specific lead, and because it makes the game grindy and slow.Why it fits
Best for players who want narrative mystery, exploration, and a strong atmosphere. It stands out for its mystery-driven story, exploration, and memorable mood.
