Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“clunky interface and can't skip seen cutscenes. I managed to cause a game breaking bug. I use leap frogging saves to protect me from stuff like this, but in this case the I left a crane in the wrong spot and then discovered about a hour…”
“The puzzles are fun enough, there's some head scratchers, however the story promises much with a mysterious and intriguing set up, but ultimately fails to deliver and falls flat on its face when you figure out what's going on.”
