“This is an update... We finally finished the game. We died twice in the last room because of bugs and blur descriptions. One is the connecting pins at the end of cube puzzles (bug) and the last camera puzzle. I don't know why there is so…”
“Hints were so useless. Riddles were okay. Story was meh... It was bugged a little bit, so overall I give it a 6/10.”
