Delightful - as in, full of delight; the delights of steamy water, full winds, and warm sunlight washing through spacious rooms.
This puzzler is generous, genuinely relaxing, and quite an achievement for such a small team. It's clever in a way that isn't antagonistic. I had simply a delightful time with the few hours I spent with it, like a midday lunch in a luxurious garden.

It's bite-sized, easy-going, and the puzzles are satisfying, albeit not particular head scratchers. The B story winds up wholesome and since the main mechanic of the game is reading notes for clues, the way the B story is told doesn't feel out of place or extraneous.
Really fun puzzle game, with both some really nice visual and auditory atmosphere, as well as some deliberately not great historical atmosphere (specifically with regards to societal gender norms and the exclusion of women from 'serious science').
This is not a puzzler where you'll be stuck for more than a minute or two, but you'll still take your time as you wander the beautiful grounds of this country manor, appreciating the aesthetic. A cosy puzzler that doesn't do anything revolutionary, but is happy and content to be a charming, relaxing experience. A countryside weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of modern gaming.
It's fine, seems to be getting a lot more traction than similarly basic 3D puzzle games do which is what it is.
Pick up clues, grow odd magical plants, get a key to unlock the next area, repeat.
Lost a star because at least 50% of play time was me running backwards and forwards to recheck clues because you can't check them from the journal??? Or if you can the game kept that secret from me.
Not the worst way to fill an afternoon but pretty unsubstantial.

Nice game.
Wonderful little puzzle game. The manor and overall environmental design is really well handled making exploration a joy as you gradually unlock different sections. The puzzles themselves aren't the most complex things around, but I found them compelling and fun. The visuals are cozy and the game has a great soundtrack. I also liked the environmental storytelling - it ties everything together well and really made me feel for our protagonist.
Real cozy puzzle game. Good feminist takes and some really fun solutions.
