10/11/25: Upon revisiting this game, I found it really enjoyable. It's sometimes frustrating to figure out the next step bc there's no hints or guide, but the overall experience is immersive. Still wish it had been proofread. 12/8/21: This is less a game and more a novel storytelling format. The downside of being a text based story is that the story and writing really need to be on point, and while the story and characters have depth, the writing itself is a bit clumsy.

A very well executed choose your own adventure style type of game/story. The puzzles are fun and I found myself not wanting to put the book down. The story itself is well written, which is especially impressive given the format and genre. This game is a bit of a hidden gem on the play store and I recommend it frequently.
