~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You awake in a strange mansion that exists outside of time. You can’t remember how you got here. In your pocket is a curious stone tablet covered in mysterious symbols. As you explore the manor, you encounter its eclectic staff— all of whom seem to be as trapped as you are, working in the service of “The Master.” You unearth a series of tapes from a voice you recognize. A girl in trouble. She’s discovered that the Master has a sinister plan she needs to stop, but in order to help her, you must first puzzle your way out of the mansion and back through the doors of time.

Ratings and reviews

I had a blast playing through this, and it did wonders for my executive dysfunction since I could play it while doing chores and it kept my brain distracted. The puzzles were rewarding to figure out, and none of it felt like a huge leap in the available logic. I did have slight issues with the audio detection, but that's likely on me for mumbling and having other noise interference. Overall, I just wish I could find more games like this one!! A lot of work went into this and it shows

Figuring out how to progress in this game feels fun and rewarding. It doesn't give you all the answers unless you ask for hints. The puzzles actually feel clever and mysterious with a slightly spooky atmosphere, which is good because it's still fun for adults to play and not an overly easy to win game. The voice acting is excellent. I support this game genre and I'm having fun with the game. I envision a future game with surround-sound cutscenes that could make it even more immersive. Good game.

This game was an absolute nostalgia trip for me. I spent a fair amount of time playing old Interactive Fiction games, and this game brought back those awesome memories. To the devs, thank you so much.
