Time flies when you play this game in more ways than one. I fired it up to check it out for the first time this morning and got totally hooked. It's a very clever platform/puzzle game with great visuals and good atmosphere. I don't know if the achievements work or not but I broke a vase and didn't get the badge. It may have been the wrong type though. It's probably easier to play with KB and mouse but the game pad works just fine for me.

This Game was abolutley astonishing with its atmosphere !
As soon I did see the trailer, I knew that I want this Game. I did buy and did not regret.
Especially for me as fan of the Temple of Time in The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword, this was absolutely amazing. I felt this kinda vibes here. I did playthrough this game chill within 1 hour. Its been worth every cent I did spend.
However it felt too short. It felt like this was just the intro for a big story. This is not bad by any means, rather that I wanted more of this game. Studios ltd , if you read that, please make a sequel to this, it's just been amazing and has so much more potential for a successor. I really wish to see more of this content from you, great Job !

Great visual style and I like puzzle ideas. Very rough controls. Little buggy here and there.

While I enjoyed the game I must admit that it needs a lot of work. I barely managed to finish the game because of the game breaking bugs. Here's some of the problems I had from memory:
-It's too short. Reversing time after touching the water is a nice idea but it doesn't gets utilized much.
-boxes can rotate, preventing you from dropping them into their holes thus requiring restart.
-restarting can clone boxes and props.
-I think the whole map loads at once.
-Achievements doesn't work.
-The camera is pretty janky.
-At the "You have sealed your fate" part I kept getting stuck at the future after rewinding time, thus restarting
-Touching the water doesn't trigger the reversion sometimes but it will trigger after switching time, thus you have to restart again.
-The only way to finish the game for me was to do everything perfectly thus not triggering reversion.
-Mouse sensitivity is stuck at low.
-Options don't work half the time.
-Runs worse than expected on my 3060 (though I think it will run on low end hardware)
The game is still playable but you might want to wait a while before experiencing it and hope that the devs will fix these problems. Their previous game "Frame of Mind" was pretty good, you might want to check it out.

It's very short, but enjoyable if you can look past the short comings of a three person passion project. The art and music are really wonderful. The game is a relatively standard puzzle platformer. It's effectively a demo of what the studio is capable of. Perhaps this will be a jumping off point for a more substantial project?

Great art, puzzles are ok.
Camera is very shaky for me, options don't work, achievements don't work, jumping sound is annoying, rewind is not smooth, some bugs too.

Knocked the block off the platform at the start, slow mouse rotations. Its like im on a bug safari!
