Sep 29, 2011I really don't understand why everyone is calling this game a masterpiece.
The graphics are unique and they work. The puzzle solving is pretty clever but it's nothing special. The sounds work for the game but there really aren't any. There's no music throughout, only ambient sounds here and there. The game is fun and surely worth playing but even at the low price of 10â -

Sep 30, 2011I was firstly enthralled by the gruesome solutions to the puzzles at the start of the game, but then quickly grew bored of repeatedly dying and having to complete timing challenges over and over; after which I was greatly snubbed by how poor the ending was.
I paid £7 for this game. It wasn't worth the money. -

Nov 23, 2012Meh. Yes it was atmospheric.
That got old after the 1st or second puzzle.
This played like an overgrown flash game. The puzzles were sometimes interesting, but more often than not they were trial and error tedium. (Try once, die on something you really couldn't have foreseen, try again)
Possibly worth the $2.50 but I was sick of it even during the couple hours it took to complete. -
Feb 3, 2013Great visuals and very beautiful. However in my opinion it feels like a trial and error game, though some puzzles you could think before hand, many of the other times you just die in order to know what to do next. I found myself rather bored at this game. I am surprised at the highscore this game gets.

Mar 21, 2013I love a challenging game. This was challenging, but not in a intellectual way more like a 'how-patiently-can-you-keep-trying-to-jump-this-ledge-before-you-lose-your-mind' kind of way. The constant dying and re-dying ruined the pace and flow, and I just never felt like I got into it.

Jun 4, 2012Infuriating and annoying, that's the only way to describe this game. Some people clearly like that, but as the game progresses and the laggy controls start to have an impact on the game it becomes unbearable. There is a nice idea in here but the implementation on PC is just no good, maybe the console version was better and this is just a bad port.

Aug 8, 2011"YOU MUST DIE TO SEE HOW TO DO THE NEXT PUZZLE!"
Honestly, the game have a very brilliant graphics, nice physics and is very scary.
After an hour of playing, the game become very hard and is really frustrating to do next puzzles. In most cases you have to die to know how the puzzle can be solved. -

Oct 10, 2012I thoroughly disliked this game. I only play it when my internet is out or something. It's very boring and could honestly be played on an iPhone or something. The quality is not very good and they went overboard with the art style. Disappointing, but at least it was only five bucks.

Jun 2, 2012Dull, short and easy. The sounds, although atmospheric, I felt added nothing of real value to the game, it may as well have been silent, the only saving grace for this game is the art direction. Not worth the full retail price and I'm glad I got it in the humble bundle on the cheap.

Feb 28, 2012I'll echo sentiments already written previously by saying...NO THANK YOU!!! This game is trial by death, single-handedly deriving the worst end case for a gamer into an endless roulette of repetition. I can appreciate the aesthetic choices made to this game, which is why it's not a total loss...but gameplay always comes first, and it is simply. not. fun.

Mar 24, 2022Поиграл полчаса. Очередной обычный платформер без каких-либо наворотов, ничего нового. + через полчаса игры я не смог пройти один участок.
