What a bonkers game! This is just a random walk around a huge map with random clues bearing no relationship location or the progress through the game. The hints are next to useless, "you have something you can use in room 9". First you have to find room 99. The map is so large and the room numbering so illogical it is hard to navigate. You then look at the room and there seems to be no logical use ofr the items you have in the room. eg flute puzzle, where does the order of the notes come from?

I really liked the first game, gave it 5 stars. The few times I used hints in the first one I was like "I should have guessed that!" In this one unfortunately I'm finding the puzzles are way less intuitive, and the clues are unhelpful and not visually tied to the puzzles, so you have to just kind of guess at what they're telling you to do. Disappointed. Edit: keep dropping my score the longer I play -- started at 4 stars, now it's at 1. Clues are nonsensical. Seems I'm too late to get a refund.

Good follow up to the first. A couple of puzzles obscure, one of which I got by chance rather than deduction. The only real criticism is paying extra, not for tips (if you can't do it you shouldn't be playing it and tips are free through YouTube anyway), but for avoiding the backwards and forwards travel, which is dull and slows the game down. This should be included in the original purchase price, even if it means paying extra. Well constructed and interesting other than that.
