I really like all your games! They're so interesting and also somewhat improving the memory (at least it worked out like that for me). The art style is so nice! I would like to see more from this exact game company (not quite sure what to call you all, you are just so awesome). You should also work on ads for people like me though, I would really love to support this game and so the ads is the right option as it's not possible for me to pay for virtual items.

It's just complex enough to feel your brain muscles stretch, but logical enough to manage without hints. Ideally, you should play all the previous games as this is the culmination of a few of the previous plots, but you can view it as a standalone with very little exposition. I loved it! The plot, the puzzles, all the little details... And the plot twist in the end is quite surprising, even though it's hinted at throughout the story. 10/10 as usual!

Thank you, Dark Dome. I really like all your adventure games about detective Larsen, Laia, Bastian and others, and this game is the best one, I think. Especially I like the chapter where Laia falls through the trapdoor in the floor and gets into a dungeon inhabited by many weird characters, such as the insectElephant notary, the shaggy monster who needs a good tooth-brushing, the red yeti with a small piece of cake, the thirsty ghost etc. This chapter is not dark, it's rather Carrol'esque)
