"perhaps one of the most clever game ideas I’ve ever seen." - TouchArcade

"a spooky multiplayer puzzle game with a brilliant hook - that the game is played simultaneously on two screens, with half of the clues on one and half on the other." - EUROGAMER

Ratings and reviews

Gameplay: 5/5, good co-op fun. Story: 1/5, it was very hard to even figure out who was playing as who, and what it's about. The ending was hilariously bad. Duration: 2/5, it took us 100 mins to complete. For the price it felt an hour too short.

Game was fun but too short and not enough for the price. If we had other puzzles or continuation or maybe even some of the same but different options to unlock puzzles it would be worth it. 3 bucks per person for only an hour-ish and then its over? Nah. Feels wasted.

Took only an hour to beat. It was interesting and entertaining while it lasted. But my partner and I beat it in a little over an hour, and after considering that you have to pay for this twice to play, and on two different platforms, making the price about $10, it was not worth the price. If the game was longer sure, but this is not worth $10.
