Ratings and reviews

This game really holds up for one released in 2015. This version sounds like it's been majorly updated though so don't let the release date fool you. I did need to google a few hints to get some of the puzzles but overall this is a premium game with multiple chapters and depth I find unusual for mobile games. Thank you for making this mobile. My chief complaint is the text and some of the clues are difficult to read and there is no option to zoom in or increase font size. 4 stars for that.

Absolutely phenomenal, I've been playing this game on repeat since it came out on steam and having it on mobile and it playing so well on it is a dream. Now I can play anytime and anywhere..as long as my phone is charged. I had 1 error throughout the game but I just restarted my save file and that was it. So other than that amazing game and good mechanics.

Personally i would say the port is pretty good. My only complaints is that there is no option to toggle off the cursor because to me it's kind of distracting and that the game does not cover my screen entireley(still i prefer this more than having the whole game looking stretched and the black edges hide this issue nicely). Aside from those minor issues the game runs good the text is legible and it works well. Also the game itself is in my opinion really good.
