- “Quite a well done casual game with an interesting storyline.”

- “It's just... a bit weird given past mechanics.”
- “I don't mind mechanics of other Artifex Mundi games, where you need to unlock a part so that you can find objects listed in a different color indicating that they are unavailable - that's not a problem for me personally.”
