❤ Challenging, Logic-Based Puzzles

Players praise the game's challenging, logic-based puzzles that require deductive reasoning, out-of-the-box thinking, and meticulous attention to detail. The puzzles cover a wide range of mechanics, from deciphering codes and symbols to manipulating mechanical devices, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging. One reviewer notes a puzzle involving a light box as particularly "tedious in the extreme," taking an hour to solve even with the solution visible nearby.

❤ Cooperative Gameplay

The cooperative aspect allows players to team up with up to 4 friends to tackle the puzzles together. Reviewers highlight this as a key strength, as it enables collaborative problem-solving and a shared sense of accomplishment. However, some note that the cooperative design is not always optimized, as certain puzzles can only be solved by one player at a time, leading to periods of waiting for some team members.

Players enjoy exploring the beautifully-crafted mansion, uncovering various clues and collectibles hidden throughout the environment. Reviewers praise the atmospheric presentation and the way the environment is used to provide context and background information, enhancing the overall narrative and puzzle-solving experience.

❤ Rewarding Progression

Reviewers report a strong sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when solving the game's puzzles, as the solutions often require creative thinking and a deep understanding of the game's mechanics. The progression through the mansion, with each new area presenting new challenges, is described as rewarding, as players gradually piece together the overall narrative and feel a sense of progress in their heist.

❤ Replay Value and Collectibles

The inclusion of various collectibles, such as hidden golden cats, encourages players to revisit areas of the mansion and explore more thoroughly, further extending the gameplay experience. Some reviewers also mention the potential for multiple playthroughs to approach the puzzles in different ways or with different cooperative partners.
