Steam review snapshots
The pretty art and animations are something of a double edged sword at times, slowing you down when you need to be…I also found the style of movement (N/E/S/W buttons to move between areas you view in first person) a little confusing or…it's a nice cross of puzzle and point and click, not too heavy on either mechanic but both are executed very well…A few minor nitpicks : many screens are just liminal space (screens where you just go to go to the next screen…Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, casual filtered by single-player.
