Good graphics, music and gameplay

Good graphics, music and gameplay - and pretty long. Had to use the hints for a few solutions I would never have thought of. Overall, many hours of fun!

Aside from the typos and massive spelling errors (U.S. App Store), I found the game dynamic and challenging. The puzzles were inventive and multi-tiered, the gameplay was smooth, and the world was vast. I've played everything from the Cube Escape series (awesome), to The Room to Glitch Games' stuff and this, as well as Telescope Hill was on par with the latter two. It took me a day or two to play though the entire game (no hints). I was surprised to find another good point and click. Get it and stick with it.
Clever but Stupid

puzzles are definitely challenging however whoever designed this gave no feature to save information. Some challenges had no way to understand solution such as the steering wheel on the ship which opens the safe. Very stupid game and the idiot who made it.
Great game, but ending needs work (no spoilers)

I downloaded this game on a whim because I love "Myst style" puzzle games. I found the game quite enjoyable and there were only a few places where I needed a hint. My only complaint is the ending left me greatly dissatisfied. I suppose with these games it's more about the journey than the destination, but they could have provided more closure on the storyline than what was provided.
Needs some work.

Being a fan of this type game, I have played through many of them. This one could be great with some work. The story line is good. The puzzles , however, are a random mish mash of activities that have no logical relation to each other. You pick up a lot of items along the way and some of the items you pick up early can't be used until much later and in a most obscure way. Even with hints enabled the game doesn't make much sense. Also, it is easy to get lost in this world. A map of the scenes visited and areas not visited would help. Sometimes there is no indication that new area exists until you accidentally click a place in a scene. Glad I didn't pay for it!
Flawed but enjoyable.

This game feels like it came straight out of the 1990s. The music, the sound effects, the 3-D rendered still-slides, and even the Black Chancery opening typeface make it feel like a PC game rebooted from 1996 for iOS. Surprisingly and refreshingly long for a free game, this one keeps you engaged and guessing. There is a lot to explore, and the puzzles range from simple to very difficult. In fact, some of the puzzles are a little bit too obscure… even when I read the helpful included hint guide, I still wasn't quite sure what to do on at least one of them at first. Also, the game sorely needs some form of internal screenshot or note-taking method… I ended up using pencil and paper or screen capturing and flipping between the Photos app and the game to accomplish some of the more complex puzzles. The inventory system and navigation are also a little bit finicky. Still, if you are a fan of Myst-esque point and click puzzle adventures, and you are willing to forgive some absolutely atrocious spelling and a completely underwhelming conclusion, this is totally worth your time. You will probably get several days of entertainment out of it if you don't take any of the hints. It definitely feels really old-school, but it is one of the better free games in the genre that I have tried from the Apple Store.
Tediously long and slow

The transition between scenes is annoyingly slow. There are a ton of items to keep in your inventory and the inventory doesn't consolidate items so by the end you're left scrolling through empty pages to find items. The storyline is choppy at best and the action items are entirely unintuitive and nonsensical.
Fun game!

Very classic adventure game. It was very fun and loved that it was a long game! So many adventure games are over too quickly these days. It was just challenging enough to keep it interesting but not be unsolvable. I'd love to see another!!!

Got to the wheel in the tree. I could not figure out the configuration. I even went on AppUnwrapper and got a picture. No matter what I tried it didn't work. After awhile, I gave up and deleted the game.
