An outstanding puzzle adventure with thousands of puzzles for you to solve
A magnificent collection of puzzles that will take weeks to fully explore. The sheer number of unique riddles is consistently impressive in terms of their execution. Sadly, the same cannot be said about the plot: while it seemingly attempts to tell an engaging story, many of its details end up going in one ear and out the other.
