Editor’s Note

Recent reviews (Apr 2026): 👍 5★ "I came here looking for a co-op puzzle game and instead found myself staring at what I can only describe as a 3-course meal of Victorian flesh and existential dread, with an ambient soundtrack that made me feel like I was being slowly digested by something with excellent taste. My wife and I sat down expecting a fun little game and stood up as different people with questions about our bloodlines. The atmosphere is immaculate. The sound design is doing things that should be reported. The artwork is so gorgeous and so deeply wrong that it felt rude to look at it without a reservation. The puzzles are smart without being cruel, the lore is rich and completely unhinged in the best way, and somehow you and your partner end up doing real teamwork over what is essentially a dead man’s cryptic to-do list. If you have not played this, you are eating fast food while a Michelin-star kitchen is right next door. 5 stars. We’re already ordering dessert." — Blue_Mojo_Bottle, 2026-03-28 👍 5★ "Me and my wife loved playing this game while I was away for work. It’s well worth the price and is a lot of fun. The puzzles were well done and it is such a cool concept. Sure, you have to buy two copies for it to work, but it is WELL worth the price." — Grim1264, 2026-03-16 👎 1★ "Wasted money on this… The reason I like escape games is because it’s a completely solo game!!! Any co-op between players strip away the fun!!! And especially this one is a paid game!" — Alllllllia, 2026-03-14
