❤ Unique Puzzle Mechanics

The game's core gameplay revolves around rearranging the rooms of a mansion, which are presented as sliding puzzle pieces, in order to find a path to the exit. This mechanic is further enhanced by the introduction of various gadgets and abilities that the player can use, such as teleportation, bombs, and the ability to move all rooms at once. These additional mechanics steadily increase the complexity and challenge as players progress through the 144 puzzle levels, divided into 4 different mansion themes.

❤ Progression and Difficulty

The difficulty curve starts relatively simple, allowing players to learn the core mechanics, but gradually becomes more demanding. Many reviewers praised the game's approach, noting that while the early puzzles can be solved through trial and error, the later levels require significant strategic thinking and spatial awareness to overcome.

❤ Replayability and Scoring

One of the notable features is the scoring system, which awards up to 3 "puzzle pieces" or "stars" depending on the number of moves the player uses. This encourages players to approach each puzzle with efficiency in mind, rather than just brute-forcing their way through. The ability to replay levels to earn higher scores adds to the game's replayability, as players can work to perfect their solutions.

Set in a fairy tale-like world, players take on the role of a young girl named Anne who has become trapped in the twisted mansion. As the story unfolds through cutscenes, players learn about the dark legend of the mansion and the twisted Toymaker who resides within, creating a cohesive and immersive experience.
