Ratings and reviews

A mildly interesting, mostly frustrating game. Most of the puzzles are maddeningly difficult to solve due to obscure solutions. The game's music is boring. It's spooky, which is nice, but it literally never changes through all stages and chapters. The UI is infuriating. The final boss fight feels like a contrived crock. I eventually had to obtain every hint and solve the entire game simply to be rid of it.

The puzzles are extremely obscure. I spend more time clicking randomly than feeling like I'm actually solving anything, and I normally like escape-style puzzles. I needed help from a walkthrough several times in the first two chapters. And once in the third chapter, I accumulated so many tools with no idea what to do with most of them. I liked the idea of shifting environments with the eye power, but very few of the puzzles felt intuitive in any way.

This game clearly aims to mimick a rusty lake type vibe. Which is why I downloaded it. However, a lot of the puzzles just make no sense. With rusty lake, the puzzles can be very tricky, but when you finally get it you have an ah ha moment. There is no such moment with many of the puzzles in this game. In fact I couldn't even find explanations online. Even the game walkthroughs just post the solutions cuz even they don't understand it. It seems many of the puzzles only make sense to creator.
