The game starts off pretty intriguing, but a bit on the easy side. By chapter 3 though, the difficulty goes through the roof, and there’s no hint system. The lack of a hint system in a story based puzzle game is odd. If you’re smarter than me, maybe it’s 5 stars! Note: My previous review complained about progress being lost, apparently that was a bug and it was fixed.
