Very interesting game, short, sweet, to-the-point. You will spend about 40 to 60 minutes per level, exactly right when it comes to difficulty, not too demanding, not too easy. I highly recommend it.

Before and after playing it, I read the reviews (obviously keeping an eye for the negative ones) and I truly don't understand why people are being negative and/or leave bad or "neutral" reviews for the game.
It was fun to play, yes short (took a little bit more than 2 hours) but enjoyable nonetheless and it has the price of a coffee.
The only times I was stuck were when I hadn't noticed a couple of things (not a spoiler; some things turn, open, need noticing etc), other than that it was a delight.
Every puzzle was logical, there were no "leaps in logic" at all, even the absurd change of artistic decoration between the rooms makes sense in the end.
I absolutely enjoyed it, would recommend it wholeheartedly!

This is a borderline recommend.
I decided to recommend it based mostly on the price.
While much of the game is nice, it does have it's instances of "guide damn it". One key was hidden so well, only visible for a second while you're at another location, that I would have never found it myself, not in hours. Another time the solution was pretty moon-logicky, imagine using a crowbar to open a cookie jar, and yet another time the solution could only be found by brute forcing, not logical thought. No help system is in the game either, so in that cases you have to search externally. Thankfully there is a nice text only guide on steam.
It's also very short, just 4 rather small rooms. Expect about 2 hours, I just have more because I went after the achievements.
Oh and your progress isn't saved inside rooms. Just after each one.
This game also does the cardinal sin of puzzle games. On the normal game mode, it hastens you along with a ticking clock, and half it's achievements are behind time gates.
How are you supposed to enjoy a puzzle game if you're hurried along?
I hate time limits in most games, but in puzzle games is the very worst place.
The game would have fully deserved a "not recommend" for that alone. It's saving grace was that there is another game mode without a clock (insultingly called "easy" even tho the puzzles stay exactly the same) and it's low price.

The puzzles are great! I enjoy the 3D aspect and also enjoyed the ease of movement. I just wish that in the middle of the level it would do a save. Currently it only does a save when you have completed a level. Also wish that there were hits available. Also would be nice if when you were done with an item it would eliminate it out of the inventory list.

A good game, with interesting puzzles--though the clues for numerical codes are a little too difficult for my teeny tiny brain without a guide. I only stopped playing because the controls in a certain area of room three are too slidey and I just couldn't get past. If your keyboard is less sensitive, you might have better luck than I!

This is a fun game, with a couple of small annoyances that I will leave unmentioned for you to discover yourself (since they are likely subjective). The game is short, and the puzzles are mostly good. Once you've completed it, there's not much left to do other than run through again as fast as you can to get the achievements, but beating a level in under 15 minutes is not as satisfying as beating Resident Evil 4 in 5 hours. Yeah, that's a crap comparison, but there's really no need for speed achievements in a puzzle game when the puzzles are the same with each play through. What I mean is there is no skill in completing a puzzle completely when you already have the answer.
OK, I lied. The one puzzle that annoyed me was the xylophone one. I understood the mission, it just takes a few attempts to get the exactly right answer.

Awesome game! Too short, wish there was more to play! the escapes aren't too easy, some are pretty tough. Really hoping for a second one!
