The gameplay features puzzles with unconventional solutions that can lead to frustratingly lengthy exploration, as players may need to search extensively for specific NPCs to progress, often without clear guidance. While some enjoy the challenge, others recommend using online guides to avoid wasting time on seemingly unrelated tasks. Overall, the gameplay is rated 8/10.
“Some puzzles have very unorthodox solutions that can lead to player-unfriendly choices, making you spend a long time searching the map for what to do next. Expect to spend around an hour or more just running around trying to find the NPC that will allow you to proceed, even if it doesn't make much sense. In one part of the game, you need to talk to an NPC that seems unrelated to your current task, and if you don't engage with them, you won't progress. It's advisable to use an online guide to save time.”
“Gameplay – 8/10”
“Some puzzles have very unorthodox solutions, and by unorthodox, I mean very player-unfriendly choices that will make you go around the map for a long time trying to find what you are supposed to do. Around an hour or even more of the gameplay is just running around trying to find the NPC that will allow you to proceed, even if it doesn't make any sense at all. In one part of the game, you just have to talk to an NPC that has absolutely nothing to do with what you are doing, and if you don't talk to it, you don't progress. Use an online guide; don't waste your time.”
