Aesthetically gorgeous with a beautiful story and a captivating soundtrack.
The first playthrough is fun and interesting, with a few rewarding puzzles.
Overall, it's a good game that offers value for the price, especially if on sale.

The story is confusing and feels too short, lacking depth and a satisfying conclusion.
Some puzzles, particularly the shifting piece puzzle, are tedious and disrupt gameplay flow.
Controls can be cumbersome, and the absence of a manual save option is inconvenient.
