Very challenging but do-able. Love the story. Glitch games are the best.
always happy with glitch games! they are so well made and thought out, and this was no exception. i try to find games similar to theirs, and nothing even comes close. if i didn't have other financial responsibilities, i would gladly give them every dollar i make just so i can play more of their games.

Surprisingly difficult but not frustrating. Some puzzles were a little obscure but the storyline was cute and deeper then you think. Good job. Enjoyed it immensely.
Playing all Glitch games now. Good as always. Glitch is king of the genre. Especially with more than fair priced games without ads.
