Zaczyna się się dobrze. Gra przygodowa próbująca imitować chyba czasy, gdy wychodził Myst itp. Duży świat, po którym łazimy i rozwiązujemy rozmaite zagadki. Te do prostych nie należą. Trzeba wykazać się spostrzegawczością i wyciągać wskazówki z czytanych notatek porozwalanych po całym świecie. Do tego zamiast modeli 3D postaci, które spotykamy widzimy dwuwymiarowe nagrania żywych aktorów (wątpliwego talentu). Niestety pod koniec robi się gorzej. Wkrada się irytujący backtracking połączony z długimi ekranami ładowania (konieczność teleportowania się w te w wewte) a same zagadki robią się bardzo trudne i kończy się na metodzie prób i błędów. Medal dla osoby, która zaliczy całość bez szukania wskazówek w internecie co trzeba zrobić. Nie jest to gra dla osób, które chcą przejść grę bez większego wysiłku.

Bardzo dobra gra dla miłośników gatunku. Trzeba zwracać uwagę na każdy szczegół. Najlepiej robić notatki poza grą, aby niczego nie przeoczyć. W tym gatunku jakość grafiki schodzi na drugi plan, dlatego nie ocenian.

Does get a bit tedious at times but overall a very good puzzle game. I liked it better than Myst and Firmament. The puzzles are challenging but not too hard. Performance is not great, you need a really good GPU to play on max settings and high resolution.

I wanted so much to love this game and there is possibly plenty to love about it. However, after several attempts to delete and reinstall the game I have given up with it. It's full of bugs. Sometimes you can move and sometimes not. Sometimes you can move through portals and sometimes not. the swap machines may or may not work. The rotating button at the dome often stops at a wall. The list of glitches goes on and on and often changes with each try. I got fed up trying and finally threw in the towel and deleted it. In the end I watched the parts I couldn't play (due to being unable to progress) on YouTube and, frankly, the endings were lacking in any kind of fulfilment. How disappointing. What a shame because this game could have been so much more.

I didn't exactly hate it. I even thought it was interesting for a Myst-like game. Some of the puzzles were weird but even when I had to resort to looking up the solution to the Myst style vague nonsense I wasn't mad about it. I wasn't even particularly bored. I mean it's a solo adventure where nothing much happens and you only run around solving nonsensical puzzles, but exploring the admittedly nice looking environments was interesting enough. But then the reason why I abandoned the game came up. I'm pretty tolerant to game nonsense, even when it's sort of annoying, but the puzzle that made me quit was simply intentionally made to annoy people and waste their time. You have to operate a machine that controls this little maze and you have to figure out how to configure the maze machine so you could pass through. But it's a time wasting nonsense that has you running around half the entire game area to solve this. I was told by someone who played the game that even if you know the exact solution right from the start, it would still take about an hour to get through. Figuring it out on your own would take even more time, because you can't see what you did unless you go back and see from a different area of the game. I don't want to play games that are deliberately stalling the gameplay only for the sake of wasting time. Whoever came up with that puzzle (and potentially other similarly bad puzzles after this) really needs to get a grip. I thought 2/5 stars might be more fair, because it's not like effort was not put into this game. It looks good and it has some interesting bits. But the performance is not great at times and then the whole thing with the time waster puzzle. Pointless stalling, extreme level stalling even, is reason enough to rate this game just 1/5. It's worse than a game that's sort of boring but at least it's going forward and not completely stopping just to waste the player's time.
