Great story- I really loved the hints of the main character's relationship. A unique love story in a way. Well-crafted environment, fun and challenging puzzles.

This one drove me up the wall the first few times I tried playing it. Once I figured out the game's logic, it was really fun. Definitely a creative take on IF.
