I really enjoyed this game :D It has the creep factor, but not enough to put me off playing (I am a semi-wuss). Most of the actions make logical sense though you're still required to play around a bit. It has that WHAAAT? moment that I love and left me thinking for a while after I'd finished the game, which to me is a sign of brilliance. I still feel like I'm missing the significance of some things though.. Ah well, 5/5. P.s. it did go to black screen on me once, but it was right near the end (telephone-mirror bit) and it worked right after I refreshed, so I'm happy to forgive).

I'm glad for the walkthrough, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see the end. The final step for the machine, turning it on, is broken and stays broken even through reloading the game. I checked the walkthrough to find what I was missing, only to find I wasn't missing anything. The game itself had a nicely surreal atmosphere, and was generally a pleasing game, though.

I needed help at 3 positions in the game, first when the clock showed 4 and i thought i would have to set it, second when trying to find the pill and third when figuring out what to do after activating the phone the last time. All in all appropriate difficulty and great story as well.

Well this game did set a mysterious, yet disturbing atmosphere. It seems that the you did a lot of wrong things (murder etc), and you're trying to correct your past mistakes using a time machine.

Game is fun, but set up for progress and then badges is crap. Never got the badge from end of game, went to main menu, and guess what? Had to start from the beginning. (Hint: I'm not gonna.) Rated down due to lack of save and wasted time. Great game otherwise.

a great puzzle game is one which is logical and internally consistent. a bad puzzle game is one in which you have to follow a precise list of actions to get anywhere, most of which don't make sense or have any sort of causal logic. so i'm watching the walkthrough - what am i missing to get the bird to fly into the house, again? it's sitting outside, mocking me.

I love the story of this game, "The Lake" and how much they cross. In fact, after you finish Summer, go play "The Lake" and then come back to this game. It might make more sense :D

in the first scenario after the final, I somehow put the key obtained there into the pot of water, instead of what I assume to be unlocking the cage. Trying to see if I could reset this, I went to the second scenario only to be greeted by a black screen. This is a fun game, by the way. Awesome job.

SPOILER SPOILER XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Trying to figure it out: What makes less sense? The fact that she needed to go back in time and change the past in order to get the ingredients to make her time machine work or the fact that she built the time machine 10 years AFTER committing suicide? Is it the "Red Room"? (not everyone will get the reference...)

Okay... was this made by the same developer who made Samsara room? It looks almost EXACTLY THE SAME. Same talking telephone, same clock, same wallpaper...
