Ratings and reviews

Really outstanding (though minigames require hints to play, which if your no good at it, requires ptp)! This game had great art+story, which, I found quite fun+emersive. Looking forward to new updates! Btw, hints were not very helpful(ie. show direction rather than where to proceed to). I think having a map would also be helpful going forward and backwards through 3-4 ares is a alot. Some story and descriptions that you look at(ie. notebooks) are cut off and different from text description.

I'd say try this game out. The concept & art are good & controls are mostly intuitive. BUT, no ad free version can be bought, and the hint system is BAD. You get 1 hint per ad watched, or pay $. If you are fully stuck and on the wrong side of the house, using 4-5 hints to get to the area you need to be is ridiculous. The mini games also use hints as currency to buy attempts. I'll be waiting to buy the rest of the game until I know my $5 will get more than 5 minutes of content.

Game seems good. But the Hint system is very bad and restrictive. You need to watch ads or buy Hints. Minigames need hints to attempt. Collectibles need hints to be looked at. Hints dont point straight to where you need to check. They are spent just to know direction. If you are 3 rooms away, you need 4 hints to even know where to look. There is no fully unlocked version to buy. Overall good game held back by the monetization.
