It's a really fun game with a good 10+ hours of entertainment. The cats are all adorable and the mechanics are very fun. Recommend to anyone who likes cats.

Absolutely wonderful puzzle game. For others who like linguistic puzzles, it may seem to start out very easy at first, but the languages definitely get tougher as the game goes on. That being said, the final language has a very different learning process due to the setting, so I don't know whether to fully count it as a linguistic puzzle.

The setting is wonderful, with each area of the tower feeling very distinct from each other. The people inhabiting them feel real too - clearly a lot of thought was put into the worldbuilding. This also reflects in the linguistic section; you can really see which words are prioritized for each civilization, how their language and way of life shape each other. In fact, the game actively encourages you to think about how a word might have come about, which words it's similar to, etc. There was more than one time where I guessed a word based off the way it looked.

Obviously, the languages aren't fully realized Tolkien-style. Even at the end, they lack a lot of the filler words and sentences never really stop being short and simple. That being said, this makes it very accessible to a wide range of people, even those unfamiliar with linguistic puzzles. And the game does shake things up at a few points, which I will leave as a surprise.

The game also features puzzles of a more regular variety. These are fun too, though constantly running back and forth for some of them can get mildly annoying, it gives you more time to soak up the wonderful setting. At least a few of the puzzles are timing-based, relying on your ability to click fast enough. This isn't really a con in my book, I had great fun regardless, but is worth mentioning for the sake of accessibility. That being said, the controls never get more complicated than just clicking, which leaves it rather accessible to most.

Overall it's going on my list of favorite games.

Absolutely amazing little game. Fun puzzles, fun story, fun vibe. Finished the game and immediately bought the DLC (which was a little weaker compared to the original imo but still pretty great). Only wish is the game being longer. I would love more Rewinder adventures. (The soundtrack is also very worth the money, it's beautiful and creative and really helps make the game. Willow's song and the ghost market theme in particular are fantastic.)

Really fun game! Took me 3-4 runs to survive till coronation, and even now I really want to replay to see if I can get different endings and be a better queen (or a raging warlord). Oodles of fun, definitely recommend :D

So I have this game for PS4, where I've played countless hours. The fact that I chose to ALSO buy it for PC should speak volumes. Amazing game, amazing story, Josephine is my wife. Don't let this game pass you by, especially if you can get it on sale. Best game I've ever played.
