    • “But the story and world is intriguing and makes you want to figure out what is going on.”
    • “Love how they deliver the story, the art is awesome :)”
    • “Often, the trigger to get the 'story' to continue is something very obscure and stupid, something you don't just come up with yourself.”
    • “There's a story introduced but never developed; I guess not until the end...? Then the uneven design, where the invisible walls just couldn't decide where to be and a bug that allowed me to bypass one whole puzzle.”
    • “It's annoying and inconsistent; also, I did a dive on the web and it's not just me, people (Indonesians included) generally gasp for air when it comes to the story.”
  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized as simple and straightforward, with some players appreciating its unique and mysterious elements, while others criticize the excessive running and lack of depth beyond the initial puzzle mechanics.

    • “The game could've continued on with its 'puzzle' type of gameplay, but that is only the first 2 minutes.”
    • “3/5 indie game, would give more if it had less mindless running - the majority of the gameplay time consists of running and searching for where to go next.”
    • “Simple gameplay and no unnecessary things in the game.”
  • graphics
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “There is no music, because the DJ is also missing, and so you are washed over with nothing but silence and some unintelligible noise somewhere.”
