❤ Compelling Puzzle Design

Players laud the puzzle design, noting the puzzles require keen observation, logical thinking, and attention to detail to solve. Reviewers highlighted specific standout puzzles, such as a creative slider puzzle and a kitchen puzzle involving turning burners on a stove in a particular order based on recipe clues. The general consensus is the puzzles flow naturally with the story and feel appropriately integrated into the environment.

❤ Balanced Difficulty with Meaningful Feedback

Reviewers find the puzzle difficulty well-tuned, challenging players without becoming frustratingly difficult. When players provide an incorrect solution, the game often results in a character's death, creating tension and stakes. While some found this dynamic occasionally frustrating, most felt it added to the overall sense of challenge and consequence.

❤ Immersive Exploration and Atmosphere

Alongside puzzle-solving, the game encourages thorough exploration of the mansion setting. Reviewers praise the PS1-inspired visual style, complete with low-poly models, warping textures, and CRT filter effects, for establishing a strong sense of atmosphere that enhances the exploration and puzzle-solving experience.

❤ Meaningful Choices and Replayability

A standout feature is the game's multiple endings, determined by the player's choices and ability to rescue other captives. Reviewers highlight how the ability to fail certain puzzles, resulting in character deaths, adds interesting tension and consequence without resorting to traditional "game over" scenarios. This encourages experimentation and replayability to see the various outcomes.
