I liked the story rooted in Chinese mythology, even though I know woefully little about the subject. The game was very much willing to educate with all of the journal entries which was nice. There were a handful of poignant moments which I find games struggle to accomplish without being really corny.

On the other hand the puzzles ranged from "made me feel clever" to "brute forcing a solution is the intended route" which had me resorting to a walkthrough rather than grind out solutions in puzzles not built for multiple goes.

Interesting game that didn't outstay its welcome.
