I really enjoyed the relaxing gameplay. Very different from other rusty lake games where I had to really think on how puzzles are solved. The narrator has a beautiful voice and the illustration was simple yet beautiful. I would have loved it to be just a bit longer and have the plot a bit clearer by the end. Great job :) keep it up!

As a newcomer to the series I must admit I really enjoyed this game. Even though I'm sure I missed some references, the story is quite self explanatory (although tending to surrealism occasionally). Unfolded in several days, the first ones work as an introduction to the mechanics and characters, while the rest shed more and more light on what has happened to our main character. The difficulty of the puzzles progressively increases but it never feels too hard, making overall a great experience.

It's not bad, but it's not the best by Rusty Lake. It alternates between gameplay screens and cut-scene storyline screens where for some reason you have to push the story along by moving the characters, such as "he opened his eyes" and you have to manually open his eyes, which I find rather silly. The puzzles are easier than in other Rusty Lake games, some a bit tedious. The only one I found enjoyable and intellectually stimulating was the "hacker" puzzle where you find the personal passwords of the employees. What frustrated me was that controlling the game was a bit glichy, unlike the other RL games I have played, in that for example I try to open a cupboard and only the right side opens easily. After many attempts at the left side I become unsure whether the left side is supposed to opepn at all, so I leave it and then that holds me back in advancing in the game because it finally turns out that opening the left side not only was possible but was essential. The other minor frustration was that the English was poor in a few segments of the game. Maybe pay a native speaker to correct the English?
