Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players praise the atmospheric wiki-sleuthing and retro presentation, but many find it too short and its late game repetitive.

Most players enjoy the core loop of reading an old wiki, connecting articles and filling in report blanks to solve a folk-horror mystery. Many praise the retro computer look, the music and the sense of discovering the story yourself, and several say the solutions felt satisfying. The main complaint is length: many reviewers finish in around two hours, and some note that most wiki pages are available early, so the second half feels like rehashing known facts. Some puzzles rely on assumptions, and a few find the hint system or the writing clumsy. Recent reviews are more mixed on value and repetition than the older helpful ones, though most still recommend the game as a cheap, short detective experience.

Praised

  • Atmosphere and retro look

    Players enjoy the old computer interface, CRT effects, pixel art and music that build a creepy, immersive mood.

    Many players
  • Satisfying deduction

    Reviewers enjoy connecting clues across wiki articles and feeling like a detective when a conclusion clicks.

    Many players
  • Good story and folk horror tone

    Players find the Slavic folk-horror mystery engaging and well written, with a solid, cohesive plot and satisfying endings.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Too short

    Reviewers say the game ends after about two hours and wish it had more pages, cases or content for its price.

    Many players
  • Repetitive late game

    Once most wiki pages are read, the second half often feels like re-entering known information rather than discovering anything new.

    Many players
  • Puzzles rely on assumptions

    Players say some answers need guesswork or leaps of logic, and the hint system sometimes fills gaps the evidence does not support.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy short, atmospheric investigation games in the style of Obra Dinn or The Case of the Golden Idol and want a cheap, self-contained mystery in a single evening.
Who should skip it
Those looking for a long or deep detective game with many cases and new information late on should skip it, as reviewers say it is short and easy to finish.

Short vs. long playtime: Players who finish quickly mostly praise the atmosphere and short length, while several who spent longer report that the late game feels repetitive once all the wiki pages are known.
