    An adventure that will remind us to The Room games but goes beyond that in terms of scale and ambition, without being expensive.

    Undoubtedly, this Spanish indie title deserves to be among our game library for its setting, the puzzle’s difficulty and its deep narrative, among many other things. The short duration of this game could be a negative aspect, but you will enjoy it regardless.

    If you go into the game knowing it is short you can adjust your expectations accordingly. The Guest looks, plays, and sounds great but because of its brevity feels like a easily forgettable brief encounter rather than an overnight stay.

The decision of some puzzles had to turn to the guide to pass, because it was not quite obvious. There also remained a question - why the globe, which can be rotated on the coordinates?
