Interesting idea, but no real depth
The idea is interesting--a girl looks behind a door and you can ask her 5 questions about what she saw. She'll say things like "it is vast" or "it was hot" or "I saw lots of cute animals" and then you'll guess one of 6 biomes--mountain, desert, tropical island, etc--that it could have been. After 3-5 rounds, you'll reach an ending to the game. Easy enough. But there are some wrinkles. For one thing, one of her responses may be a lie in an effort to trip you up. Also, some answers can apply to more than one biome. Plus, depending on how well you are doing (or not doing), she may descend into the depths of madness while ghosts and paranormal beings invade the game. You know, the usual 20 Questions type stuff. The idea is cute and interesting. The problem is...there's just not much there. There are only 8 possible endings and I had 5 of them within 20 minutes (each round is only 2-3 minutes). The others were a little trickier, but all endings and achievements only took about 40. Her answers never change, either. It's not like she has 30 different ways to describe the desert biome. She has 5 or 6, so you can figure out the combo for each biome in just a few minutes. You can beat the whole game in a single bus ride--with the saving grace being that it costs less than a bus ride, so the ROI is balanced. The sad part is that it feels like just a little more programming & writing could have really upped the complexity, length, & replayability of the game--giving more answer options for each biome to make them trickier to memorize, or maybe having 10 biomes, 6 of which are possible answers in each round (instead of the exact same 6 virtually all the time) would also mix it up more. Or adding 1 or 2 more things to interact with in the space. Things like that. But ultimately, the game's simplicity is what makes it a curious--and fun--little game to kill half an hour on. It looks like the publisher has several other games, so I'm curious how they iterate on the formula.
