Reviews
- The game features beautiful mosaic puzzles that resemble stained glass windows, providing a visually stunning experience.
- It offers a relaxing gameplay experience without a timer, allowing players to enjoy the puzzles at their own pace.
- The variety of puzzles and the unique piece layout designs keep the gameplay interesting and challenging.
- Players are limited to viewing only a small section of the picture at a time, making it difficult to assemble the puzzles without memorization.
- The piece shuffling mechanic can be frustrating, as not all pieces are available until certain pieces are placed, leading to time-consuming searches.
- The dark background and somber music do not match the vibrant art style, which detracts from the overall atmosphere of the game.

The music in the game is described as mellow and dark, which some players feel clashes with the vibrant visuals. While it offers a variety of puzzles, the soundtrack is considered less engaging compared to similar games, leading to the option to mute it for a better experience.
“The pictures are pretty, and the music is mellow.”
“The pure black background and the dark somber music do not match well with the bright colorful art.”
“Luckily, you can mute the music.”

The graphics are praised for their mystical visuals and clever art style, reminiscent of the game Sable, which enhances the exploration experience. Players appreciate the fragmented visuals that come together like a mosaic, suggesting a deeper meaning through the design. There is a desire for future installments to maintain this beautiful artwork while adopting a more light-hearted tone.
“I also love the art style, very similar to that of Sable (another great game you must check out if you love exploration), and it's been done cleverly enough that you can get hints from the visual design about what the words mean if you really pay attention.”
“Enjoy the mystical visuals and sound.”
“I hope if they make another one, it will hit the more light-hearted vibe to match the beautiful artwork.”
“Reconstruct fragmented visuals into a mosaic.”
