Solid puzzle game that will take about 5 hours if youre fast. Excellent concepts and execution. Only downside is the duration!

It's quite good. Very good, I'd say. Great, perchance. I find myself wanting to replay it again months later, but cursing my memory of all the solutions to Chronoquartz's intricate puzzles. Well worth the cost of admission, and if on sale, there's really no reason not to try it.

Interesting concept but I found the constant backtracking far too tedious. Puzzles were cryptic rather than challenging. Got tired of roaming around the map endlessly only to have progress reset every 10 turns. Couldn't solve the Forge or Cemetery without hints... both of which left me scratching my head. How was I supposed to notice these things happening off screen? This game also leaks memory and crashes every 15…
