Players consistently praise the thoughtful design of the game's puzzles, which require careful observation and deduction to solve. One reviewer notes that the puzzles "strike a fine balance, being difficult enough to feel rewarding upon completion, but not so obscure as to become frustrating." Another player highlights how the puzzles make them "think outside the box" to find solutions.
Chapter 2 introduces a new "item combine" mechanic that allows players to creatively use inventory items together to solve problems. Reviewers highlight how this added depth to the puzzle-solving, with one player explaining that they "must think outside the box to determine which items can be used together."
Reviewers commend the game's ability to craft eerie, immersive environments that complement the overall experience. One player describes the "detailed, atmospheric locations" and "haunting musical score" as creating a "palpable sense of tension and unease that enhances the puzzle-solving challenge."
For players who get stuck, the game provides a useful hint system that offers gradual clues without outright solving the puzzles. Reviewers appreciate this accessibility feature, as it allows them "to progress through the game without becoming completely stumped."
While the gameplay is primarily puzzle-focused, reviewers note that the overarching narrative, which carries over from the previous chapter, remains engaging and leaves them eager to uncover more of the mystery in future installments. One player states that the "story provides a compelling backdrop that motivates [them] to keep exploring and solving."
Most reviewers report spending between 2-4 hours completing Chapter 2, with some noting they had to consult hints for certain puzzles. Many express enthusiasm for replaying the chapter to better understand the interconnected story and explore alternative puzzle solutions.
