POCKET GAMER REVIEW: 4/5
“A compelling narrative that feels like a labour of love”. “It’s not enough to spend a few minutes on a puzzle or two mainly because the story is just that good!” “I wasn’t expecting it to tug at my heartstrings the way it did, and in a word game at that. The word puzzles … have just the right amount of challenge and simplicity. Its narrative…is so darn compelling. I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface…a great pick for when you’re looking for something more meaningful in your typical casual game”
