A woman, summoned by an eccentric man to participate in a project in an old hotel somewhere in central Europe, becomes embroiled in a game of illusions, increasingly dangerous and surreal.

Now you are invited to fall into the same rabbit hole, in a non-linear mystery with an immense amount of handcrafted puzzles, constantly presenting you with new riddles to solve, each leading you closer to deciphering the enigma of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes.

I enjoyed this review by GamesRadar; you'll quickly know if this is a game that suits your tastes or not. Challenging puzzling, stylishly presented.

Saw this on Steam yesterday and added it to my wishlist. Looks exactly like my kind of thing.

I will absolutely be buying it. Loved the look of it from the minute I saw the trailer a while back. Device 6 on mobile was excellent too (could not see what all the fuss was about with Sayonara Wild Hearts though).

Edit - just saw my comment in the origional post. Jawa :wub:

I enjoyed both Sayonara and Year Walk so I bought it day one. I'm... not that impressed TBH? I think maybe it'll have lovely puzzles, but the character controls horribly and a single-button control interface on any game with this many menus is just a colossal misstep. Also I'm worried it's going to scare me.

The single button thing seems to be a real point of contention with this game. Some saying it’s to encourage not diving in and out of menus and thus forcing recording things on paper, whilst others are saying it’s just fundamentally flawed and needs a patch.

It's just fundamentally flawed and needs a patch.

C'mon, folks. I'm noting things down when I have to, sure. But if I put a thing into my 'photographic memory' I should be able to record it easily. That's kind of the point. Also if I don't know the answer to a thing let me get out of the menu quickly. And then there's the torn posters...

The art style is giving me proper killer7 vibes, so tempted to pick this up based on that alone.
