Fun for a while, but the repetition of the puzzles got a bit irritating (and odd that the first route one was the hardest), and what really bugged me was the document view, I just got fed up scrolling back and forth all the time.

"For the best experience, wear headphones." HORRIBLE STATIC. Thanks, I love it when my entertainment is actively trying to break my eardrums. Oh, and the minigames are kind of bland and boring and the story is really not as clever as it thinks it is. Overall, this is just another one of those "oh so indie" games.

I loved it! Everything you get keeps you guessing including the static which gives the game it's prolonged I must try this when on one puzzle as well the extracts keep the player wanted to reward enough and are very nicely done. I feel the story is true, the story in the extracts. I love this style of writing but usually it isn't true. It's so believable though, Could you tell me if it is true even though it probably isn't. It is a truly epic game in my opinion.
*Please note, because I like this game, you may not, it is a break away in opinions, more may hate it, more may like it, but those who hate it will absolutely hate it, those you like it will like it a lot. Current problem while we read a book similar to the extracts of this game in English*

I found riot round three harder than round four, mainly because of the mechanism that makes the green "tide" shrink back down again. The one challenge I've left unsolved now is the fourth riddle, but then I'm not a native speaker, so these are probably harder for me. Maybe I'll get it yet.

It seems I can't play the game any more. The "starting the game" puzzle only worked the first time I played. The next dozen times I just ended up back on the title screen. Pity, and it looked so promising.

Wait. The game is really buggy in the beginning. Sometimes there's static instead of music for no apparent reason (if it's part of some kind of puzzle then I'll take that back, but still, the static is a very annoying sound), and when I try to start the game (doing the thing you're supposed to do to start the game, I don't want to spoil the puzzle) it sometimes works, sometimes nothing happens, and sometimes I get the intro text and then it just takes me back to the title screen.

Hey, looks like the static got fixed a bit. I'll try experimenting with refreshing and stuff if it'll come back again. Otherwise, there still is some stuttering in the music.

Again, there is no static on the armorgames version, and the music is there. I have no idea why it's like that here. Hope it gets fixed.

Already played this on Armorgames, and it's actually true. Not a work of fiction at all, and the music is better there too. A lot better.
The only thing is, people always call it differently. Just read the book "The Secret". It's kinda about that, and it connects really well.
It isn't really such a big deal, and a few things about it might not be true, but hell, the sole idea IS true. It's a common fact without which we wouldn't exist, actually.

If it wasn't for the static screaming I would have given this a higher score. But since I had to literally turn off my sound for most of the game, I can't go any higher than a 3. It had fun puzzles, and good motivation besides that damn static.

That static noise is indeed utterly annoying to the point it makes me think it's not intended and it's some malfunction, since it would be really silly if that's a feature; it starts randomly at start and then it stays there forever. I just won't rate it now and I'll wait for it to be fixed.

Absolutely awesome game. i'm really looking forward to digging into this. I realize the ambiance is part of the game and David Carney kicks ass... but a mute button would be priceless.
