    Okay this was a short but sweet game with cute art and story was a good touch while going after the next clue. Positives: - Art - Story Negatives: - Puzzles more of a treasure hunt than a puzzle. - Puzzles could have more variety in it but well its just couple bucks Conclusion: A really cool premise about thieves, pirates, past interact with the present but sadly under delivered. Still it was a cool short treasure…

    A very atmospheric and creative puzzle adventure. The mystery keeps you curious as you progress. I liked the comic-style storytelling, the medieval atmosphere and the overall indie charm. Recommended for players who enjoy narrative puzzle games.

    Unfortunately, I can't recommend this game. I love to support indie developers, but the puzzles in this game aren't even really puzzles. You collect hourglasses that give you the solution to the next puzzle in the sequence. With the ability to use a compass to find the next puzzle in the sequence, there isn't a whole lot of game left in between.
