Steam review snapshots
After about 3 hours, these are the impressions I’ve got: [list] [*]Handdrawn graphics give the game a nice touch [*]Soundtrack helps to…I thought the game was utterly charming, nice art complemented with atmospheric music and fairly challenging puzzles.Idea for game is very unigue and deals on psykology so it is very interesting take and even little emotional.This approach gives the game a sense of mystery and invites personal interpretation, but it also comes with a trade-off.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure filtered by psychological themes, puzzle, no combat.
