The overall package is wonderful too. I know it was compared to Simogo's games and may share similarities, but it's definitely not a Simigo game. TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #5 TheGreatEscaper, Mar 10, 2016 How are the puzzles? The ones shown in the trailer did not seem particularly interesting. I'm still willing to get this for the story but a good interesting challenge is always a plus.

Are we talking Cicada 3301 or more Professor Layton? Candykiller Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Dec 15, 2010 1,418 0 36 Illustrator/Designer United Kingdom http://www.candykiller.com #8 Candykiller, Mar 11, 2016 I was stumped on a couple of the puzzles for a while, but I figured them out eventually. You have the option of playing in Easy or Hard mode at the start of the game. (Easy gives you three clues and Hard has none) I really liked the overall tone and presentation of the game, but dont expect a long, deep experience. It is very short. Im not saying that is a bad thing, but most players will probably finish it easily in one sitting.

Does it hold up against Simogo's game? It is one of my favorite iOS games.
