A solid series of puzzle boxes. Strangely felt a little long in the tooth despite being pretty short. I do have a few criticisms, such as on the limited controls and waiting between transitions could be tedious when you're working a puzzle that requires a lot of back and forth. It's quite possible the camera swing takes more time than the action you'll take. Also how much of the game is reduced to just clicking around. MYST was a long long time ago and while this is clearly influenced by it, I don't think it has to succumb to the same problems of inane fiddling. Just a cursor highlight on things that can be interacted with is good enough.
Anyway if they improve on this things in further entries I'll be a lot happier with them.

Joguinho de puzzle legal pra passar o tempo, mas nada tão foda

Que joguinho divertido pra quem gosta de puzzle.
Animações muito bem feitas, os puzzles (apesar de fáceis) são bem criativos. Ansioso pra jogar o segundo da franquia.

Jogo rápido, cheio de puzzles legais e complexos, cheio de chaves e caixas, muuuitas caixas... Uma história sinistra e misteriosa, que te prende.

Lembro que anos atraz passei um dia inteiro jogando, do inicio ao fim. Puzzle incríveis, game incrível.
