Fun short puzzle game. I didn't care much for the story but I'm sure the story is fine for those who actually want it. Some tedious puzzles but overall, very doable. My only complaint is that the navigation is awful. I had to use hints just so I knew where to tap, otherwise I couldn't find certain angles. And then sometimes while trying to manipulate objects, I would move the camera instead, it was just a lot of frustration and felt unimmersive.

Absolutely amazing game. Unfortunately, only able to give 3 stars because I'm unable to finish chapter 7 without restarting the WHOLE chapter Because one puzzle gave no indication of what needed to be done... so, the machine shut off and WON'T give me a second chance. I'll just skip to game #2 If that's the case. Aside from this one puzzle, the other ones were perfect. Almost always made sense logically but difficult at the same time.

Hands down the best game I've played in a while. The puzzles were challenging but rewarding. I didnt like how overall dark the imagery is; I had to turn my brightness up to 100% more than once to see everything I needed to. The view rotation is cool but also frustrating at times when it pans and you weren't trying to. I'd recommend a back button vs pinching out. All in all, though, I loved this game and hope there is a sequel just as good!

Controlling is a little clunky and sometimes annoying, and sometimes the details you have to notice are extremely tiny in a very large environment. It could also benefit from a little more tutorial. Don't expect to breeze through this one, even if you're used to escape room games. That said, it's good enough I'm downloading 2 and 3 now. The puzzles are very creative, and the visuals are stunning.

I love the puzzles, but I find the camera angles more artistic than useful. I want to look around to get a feel for the area, but feel I'm always locked to one angle in a small area. I find I'm also fairly frustrated by the interface. Things turn when I want them to slide; zoom doesn't always work; double tap doesn't always respond. You must be slow and deliberate in your actions. I want to fly through. Hasn't been in issue with other games. But that all said, I still very much enjoy the game

Really fun game. It shows a bit of it's age playing it in 2024, but it will still challenge you. Especially compared to "The Room" which this game is clearly inspired by. There are lots of cryptic puzzles which aren't exactly clear at first, but once you get it, you feel like an idiot for not knowing that the solution was right in front of you! Overall though, it's a solid game with fun puzzles. Can't say much more than that! Just play it!

Many of the scenes are so dark, that even with my phone brightness at 100%, you still can't even see major details. You're stuck blindly double-tapping large black spots hoping you might zoom in on something you can't see. Also, parts of the game don't seem to work correctly. A clue gave me a very obvious hint, and I can see what it's referring to, but the game won't let me zoom in or interact with it at all. Not worth your time or money.

The beginning was great, most of it was just ok, towards the end some of the controls were difficult to engage with to the point that I had to repeatedly try the correct item in the correct location at the correct spot several times before it finally worked. Hints towards the end we're more direct but a few specific levels the hint would say things like "I wonder where this key goes" or "it has something to do with the tower" as in the tower that you just watched come up out of the table . . .

This game is brilliantly thought out and the puzzles are challenging. Some of them are in fact too challenging for my patience. Two major gripes: (1) it's too dark. I could only play at night or in a dimly lit room. Even with my phone brightness turned up all the way, I couldn't see. (2) Sometimes you had to click really precisely to find something. I'd click all around the item but had to click half a centimeter to the right. That got frustrating quickly. Otherwise ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Interface is unreliable, making this a very frustrating game. I played through The Room series and never had the amount of issues with the responsiveness that I'm having here. After resetting the crypt multiple times because the interface wouldn't let me assemble the second lens item, I was done. Every stage up to that point had some sticking point where I knee what to do, but the controls just didn't work. Sucked the fun right out of it. Uninstalled. It's unplayable on my phone.

The controls can be a little fiddly at times, but for the most part, this played smoothly and was a fantastic mechanical puzzle / escape room game. The music and sounds were perfect, and I felt truly compelled to figure out each puzzle. Several of the designs were clever and evoked a sense of wonder as they unfolded. Beating the game was bittersweet in a way I haven't felt from a game in a long time. LOVED THE HECK OUT OF THIS!

Incredibly frustrating game. As if it weren't finished being designed and built. It just didn't function well. Navigation throughout was clunky, not intuitive and a MESS! They should have really studied The Room as an example of how a game like this should function. It caused me more stress than it was worth and I can't believe I finished it. The reviews of the sequels sound like they improved things. I may try them because they are on to something. Just hope they fix all the frustrations.

Lots of puzzles, great art direction and a familiar concept. But I have to reduce my rating for a couple reasons: 1. The brightness. Though I understand why it's so dark, hiding important clues in shadow, even at full screen brightness, really takes away from my enjoyment. A little less gloom would have helped a lot. And 2. The controls. More than half of the puzzles took many times longer because of awkward controls. Having sliding pieces lock more firmly in place would've helped a lot.

Puzzles are challenging, but hints are provided if you want a little help. No option to set brightness or text size in the game, so have those things set up properly before you play so you can read & see everything in the game. Leonardo's notes can be kinda scribbly at first, but become more legible after some getting used to. Despite a few minor flaws here & there, I highly recommend playing this game... 👍🏻😁

Amazing game with great visuals and story, some puzzles will leave you confused and scratching your head with little to figure out. Mostly trial and error. Other puzzles were amazing, super fun and creative. The game was definitely worth the money and was quite long. Overall stunning game but be ready to get a little frustrated sometimes! I had to look up a walkthrough for the very last puzzle 🥹.

The game holds plenty of interesting puzzles, the story line intriguing, and the graphics are great. However, the overall functionality of the game was incredibly frustrating to where I wanted quit right at the start. Trying to select something, turn a knob or move an object in place was difficult because it would either be really sensitive where you are taping or not responsive at all until trying multiple times. Additionally because of this many of the puzzles did not feel intuitive.

Been meaning to play these for a while, love these kind of games, far better than I even thought it would be. Only problem which was personal was a lot of times it was so dark it took a while to actually figure out what I could move and what was just pure background. The dark adds a great atmosphere but just a tad more candle light in places would've been perfect. Also the one time I remember having to do something with color it was so dark it was hard to tell the shade of green from blue.
