Steam reviews

What players say

Players enjoy this short, free two-player puzzle game for its clever teamwork, but many say it is too brief and a few report crashes or unclear controls.

Most reviewers recommend this free co-op escape prologue and describe it as a fun, well-balanced puzzle experience to play with a friend in the same room. Many players praise the puzzle design, which splits information between two players so that each needs to describe what they see, and the difficulty, which they find neither too easy nor frustrating. Some players say it takes about an hour to finish, and several wish there was more content. Other complaints include poor labelling of icons in the settings, similar colours that are hard to tell apart, missing keyboard layout support and a few performance problems. Recent reviews are more mixed, with some players reporting that the demo crashes or gets stuck on a black screen. Several reviewers say they will buy the full game.

Praised

  • Clever co-op puzzle design

    Puzzles split information between the two players, so both must describe what they see and listen closely to each other.

    Many players
  • Balanced difficulty

    Players find the puzzles neither too easy nor frustrating, with hints available when they get stuck.

    Many players
  • Fun with a friend

    Reviewers say the game is most enjoyable when played with a friend or partner in the same room.

    Many players
  • Good free demo

    Players see the free prologue as a low-risk way to decide whether to buy the full game.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Too short

    Reviewers say the prologue takes about an hour and leaves them wanting more content.

    Many players
  • Unclear labels and instructions

    Icons in the settings and some instructions are vague, and a few players find the start confusing.

    Some players
  • Colour and control problems

    Similar colours are hard to tell apart, a colour-blind partner can struggle, and some controls feel awkward.

    Some players
  • Crashes and stuck screens

    Several recent players report the demo crashing or freezing on a black screen, which stops progress.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suited to pairs of friends or partners who want a short, free puzzle game that depends on talking through solutions together.
Who should skip it
Players wanting a long game or who need solo play should skip it, as it is short and the best parts need a second player.

Short vs. long playtime: Players who finished it quickly mostly liked it as a single short session, while a few who played longer mention being unable to revisit it after the first run.
