Easy commands. A fantastic story. Interesting characters. This and Night House are my two favorite games on this site. Perfection.

Amazing effort on the mystery genre. It took second place in the Interactive Fiction Competition 2016.

It just elevates the mystery genre with great characters and smooth interaction with them.

Cool stuff.

Love this game! Well thought out characters, and lots of amusing easter eggs along the way. Didn't take me too long but thoroughly enjoyable!

Great concept! Instead of focusing on objects as puzzles, this game allows the player to focus on communication and words/ideas/characters as the puzzles. I was sad when the game ended, as I wanted to make more connections. Thoroughly engaging!
