👎 Where it falls short

Gameplay appears in 79% of analyzed reviews and ranks 1078th of 1396. 60 reviews find puzzles confusing, the most upvoted noting there are no colorblind options, so color puzzles become guesswork. 47 want more challenge from the puzzles, and 45 find the story writing weak, the most upvoted also calling some puzzles contrived.
