I had played this game a long time ago on a mobile version and I just really really like it. By far one of the best puzzle games out there, something about hidden desks and puzzle locked boxes just satisifies that itch in my brain. Pair that with the mysterious and vague lovecraftianesque backstory and you can see there's something special here. Game doesn't treat you like a dum dum and let's you try to figure out the puzzle by yourself without obnoxious overtly obviuos clues like highlighting an object with the shine of a thousand suns, it does have a clue section that drops hints after a period of no progress but it doesn't drop them outright onto the screen, you have to open it yourself, so you can ignore it until you genuinely feel stuck (or never open it). So yeah, if you like puzzles, mystery, convuluted mechanisms, impossible geometry, undescribable entities, and breaking free of the confines of space I would definitely recommend this game, and the whole saga for that matter.
The puzzles are nice and the story satisfyingly weird, but the controls are frustratingly finicky so very it's unclear if you're on the wrong track or things simply don't react to you in the way they should.
An awesome puzzle box game! The puzzles are pretty reasonable in difficulty and the hints, if you need them, gradually point you in the right direction without completely giving things away. The game can be completed in a single session and makes for a fun evening!
