I made an accountat Metacritic just to give a review of this fantastic game. From the title one could only imagine this to be a run of the mill point and click puzzle with a fancy name. However this game is far from that. At first personally I found the controls to take some getting used to, as with the unique animation and graphics the game haf. In the first 10 mins of me playing it, i had first impressions of this being an overly complex puzzle adventure. However as i go along i find the puzzles challenging but subtle hints are put along the way (eg clues are underlined in notes, and the whole game had several names which are used again as solutions, recurring years, etc). Puzzles use a combination of some math, able to pick out patterns and common sense, as well as reading up on other clues that lead to the answer. I found the game to be slightly on the difficult side but the amount of tasks you had to check off to recover memory makes this game rather value for money, as compared to some other puzzle games i played before that either can be completed in less than a day, or were just too difficult to solve and werent inspiring enough for me to pore over and complete. If you are a fan of puzzle adventure games (eg Agent A, Monkey Island), this game is definitely to be included in your list.
