Metacritic: 88
I just finished this last night, after it consumed the better part of my last two weeks. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in puzzle adventure games. It's got classic adventure game design, with lots of doors to unlock and puzzles to solve. It's basically a "Puzzle Mansion" that you are breaking down bit by bit by exploring for clues, and then putting those clues together to solve puzzles. It's challenging, but not brutally so. I never felt completely stuck at any point, and I was able to 100% it without looking anything up. I've probably got 30-40 notebook pages worth of doodles from this game alone!

Sounds cool! I recently heard someone describe the first Resident Evil in a similar way.

I'm really enjoying the rise of these indie smart-people games!

Yeah, I'd say a good way to describe this to someone familiar with old school RE (but maybe not classic Sierra adventure games) is that it's like RE1 but without the zombies/horror/combat. It's got all of the exploration, item management and puzzle solving aspects.

There are a few puzzles that were a direct homage to RE1 and RE2 so I have no doubt that they were inspirations for the developers.
