While some reviewers would have liked a longer overall experience, most agree that the game's relatively brisk pacing and straightforward puzzle solutions work well within the context of the story and tone. The inclusion of a built-in hint system is also widely appreciated, allowing players to progress through the game at their own pace without getting stuck on frustratingly illogical puzzles.
