The story aspect received mixed feedback, with some players finding it structured, intriguing, and a compelling backdrop for the puzzles, while others felt it was thin, nonsensical, or lacking in depth and atmosphere. Several noted the plot involving spies on a 1930s airship is present but somewhat irrelevant or confusing. Overall, the story adds some interest but could benefit from being more fleshed out and integrated.
- “Lots of ground to cover and puzzles to solve with a compelling story in the background.”
- “The storyline was really interesting; I wish they had fleshed it out a bit more because I felt invested in it after reading all the little notes.”
- “This game is not an ordinary escape room; it's a little round window in the skies for you to go through and enter a whole new world. It is a story, it is a movie.”
- “Absolutely nonsensical story and random puzzles.”
- “No story behind it, so we felt very lost and confused.”
- “Whatever story was present was either lost on us or was not intriguing enough to warrant continuing onward.”

The grinding aspect is widely criticized for being tedious and overly complex, with many puzzles feeling more like chores than engaging challenges. While some individual puzzles were enjoyable, most are seen as confusing, overly time-consuming, and lacking satisfying payoff, leading to frustration rather than excitement.
- “You figure out what needs to happen to solve the puzzle, realize it's too much work and look up the solution because I don't want to read 2 books to figure out how to dress 6 knights. If it was a page and 3 knights, maybe I could have fun with it, but this game is easily defined with one word: tedious.”
- “As a result, the game lacks any 'zing' and indeed, it is so tedious that when the result to some puzzles was found, my response was one of relief rather than elation—a bad look for a puzzle game.”
- “There were also some puzzles that, while perhaps not unfair, were so riddled with red herrings amidst the massive volume of information that it ended up feeling more tedious than anything to progress through the last half of the game.”

The game's graphics are widely praised for their high level of detail, aesthetic appeal, and fluidity, contributing significantly to the overall experience.

- “The graphics are amazing, the level of details, the architecture and construction of each room is wonderful and mysterious.”
- “The graphic are gorgeous, the music and sounds are just perfect, and the movement is fluid without so much as a hiccup.”
- “The best puzzles and the best graphics.”
- “The worst part is you can't even lower the graphics because anything less than 'epic' graphics renders all text and numbers illegible.”
- “Graphics could be better.”
- “Graphics don't matter in this game.”

The gameplay features a mix of well-designed mechanical puzzles that add enjoyment, but is hindered by frustratingly small hitboxes and overused mechanics involving single inputs affecting multiple outputs. While some puzzles offer variety and challenge, others can be tedious or confusing due to unclear rules. Minor technical issues exist but do not significantly impact the overall experience.
- “The mechanics behind a lot of the puzzles are really well done and add a lot of fun to the experience.”
- “Some puzzles were fun, like the music box puzzle which I enjoyed.”
- “There were some issues with items passing through other items and some minor grammatical errors in the English version but none of this really detracted from the gameplay.”
- “My main grievance with the gameplay is the impossibly small hitboxes for items, meaning that when you try to interact with something, you end up interacting with the wrong thing, or not interacting with it at all.”
- “Some puzzles were fun, like the music box puzzle which I enjoyed, but others were tedious and often had confusing rules or mechanics.”
- “The mechanic where one input influences overlapping outputs, e.g., lights out or one crank moving multiple gears, is massively overused and just annoying.”

The music is generally praised for being well-integrated and fitting, especially in music-themed puzzles like the music box, which users enjoy. However, some found the music volume unreasonably loud, leading them to mute the game except during specific puzzles. Overall, the soundtrack complements the atmosphere without drawing undue attention.
- “The graphics are gorgeous, the music and sounds are just perfect, and the movement is fluid without so much as a hiccup.”
- “Some puzzles were fun, like the music box puzzle which I enjoyed.”
- “I just end up muting the whole game (until a music puzzle appears).”
- “They are unreasonably loud and I just end up muting the whole game (until a music puzzle appears).”
- “There's nothing else that you're intended to notice in the environment; you're just fiddling with what you already have - switching capacitors (I don't know enough about electricity to know if this is the correct nomenclature) in and out to create particular ampere values, exchanging spools in a music box to create a specific song, moving pegs to create various values in rows and columns, or flipping an enormous line of switches until certain criteria are met.”

The game offers some replayability through different puzzle solutions and multiplayer options, but overall it lacks depth and variety to justify replaying, especially given its price.
- “Infinitely replayable.”
- “I can't recommend this other than it is nice looking, but for 8 bucks it has no replayability as far as I can tell from the puzzles generated.”
- “Has some replayability due to the fact that, unless you've solo'd it, you can go through the game again and solve puzzles you didn't first go around.”

- “There isn't really any atmosphere but the story will keep you playing.”
- “You feel the atmosphere as you walk around; however, I played this as a co-op game and found us asking each other what to do next.”
