  • story
    71 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is generally viewed as inconsistent and lacking depth, with many reviewers noting abrupt endings and plot holes that detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate the unique blend of genres and the initial promise of the narrative, others criticize it for being confusing and poorly executed, often feeling disjointed and lacking a cohesive arc. Overall, the story is seen as a mixed bag, with some enjoyable elements overshadowed by its shortcomings.

    • “A game dedicated to the main designer, who apparently died before release, it is the most hardcore of the casual adventure games I have tried so far, with Myst-like puzzles inspired by decades of puzzle games while the story goes wild between low fantasy to hard sci-fi.”
    • “The story starts out very promising - you're a researcher on an alien planet who needs to take your partner back to Earth for medical treatment after an accident, but while navigating your spacecraft back to Earth, you crash land on other planets and find yourself in different time periods.”
    • “The story is, at least, different from the standard hidden object fare, which makes a change and adds to its appeal.”
    • “The story is appallingly ridiculous.”
    • “The story jumps from one thing to another like someone rambling in unrelated phrases that only connect or have context in their head.”
    • “Unfortunately, the story is not well fleshed out and the characters are very one-dimensional, all leading up to an abrupt ending.”
  • graphics
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game is fun and the artwork is beautiful.”
    • “Really great graphics and great music.”
    • “Muddy graphics and effects.”
    • “The art style of the characters is inconsistent, and the hint system was sometimes poorly implemented.”
    • “There's no sense of proportion; some of the graphics are outright skewed, and objects practically hang in mid-air or stick to things at odd angles like someone got a little overenthusiastic with a tube of superglue.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it beautiful and well-matched to the environments, while others describe it as boring or annoying at times.

    • “The game is beautiful and there's good music in it.”
    • “Environments were nicely detailed and the music seemed to match each environment.”
    • “The graphics are quite pleasant and the music is good too and it's a good 4 or 5 hours long.”
    • “The music ranges from boring (fantasy setting) to interesting (at the end).”
    • “The only time I noticed the music is when it abruptly stopped and started over again.”
    • “The music can be a little annoying at times and there aren't many options.”
  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users highlighting issues such as broken puzzles, clunky mechanics, and frustrating backtracking that detract from the overall experience. While some players found the adventure and hidden object mix enjoyable, the abrupt story and poor translation further impacted the gameplay quality, leading to a consensus that it borders on unplayable for some. Overall, the gameplay is considered short and flawed, despite having potential.

    • “Actually good adventure/hidden object mix with enjoyable gameplay and good graphics, but the story left a lot to be desired and the ending felt really abrupt - like there were other planets planned originally but were ultimately scrapped due to budget/time limit.”
    • “That being said though, the gameplay itself was pretty okay.”
    • “While I'm aware that the game wasn't developed by English-speaking people, I can't let translation that affects gameplay slide.”
    • “Some of the puzzles were actually mechanically broken.”
    • “Clunky UI, constant backtracking, and the introduction of new mechanics for object tasks without notice lead to frustrating gameplay, compounded by illogical puzzles.”
    • “Many users report that the quality is so low that it impacts gameplay, bordering on being unplayable.”
