The game is cute, but just feels like a first episode in a game instead of a full game. It starts interesting but then it just ends, and leaves you kinda disappointed cause you don't get to see what happens with all of your hard work.

I would still recommand cause I think its sale price is worth it (though for the full price you can probably find better games), and because I read the developers said they are working on a new game to continue the story, so I guess once it's out this one can be treated as a promo for the next game (which I think may not be a point and click game).

Overall the game is pretty short and easy, story is predictable since other than a small thing with the grandpa nothing is really surprising, no plot twists or drama, just a little puzzle game... But at the end it still manages to not be too boring and most of the characters are easy to like, which is more than you can say about some other point and click games out there. I hope the next game will bring Nika's evil side out more.

I REALLY wanted to like this game. It has great graphics and it's built well, it has good voice acting, and it isn't buggy. It is also published by Daedalic which I like. But sadly, it is just plain boring.

The story is simply terrible, repeating itself, barely any twists, boring ending. The dialogs are WAY too long and boring, most of them have no effect on the storyline and are just wasting your time, yet you can't progress unless you listen to all of them. Every time you click a character you are stuck in a long conversation that takes a few minute, but only has like one line that is actually important for the story.

Most of the characters are impossible to like, a very few of them are somewhat interesting but get no focus at all.
The jokes are awful and trying too hard, not a single joke even made me giggle. It's full of references for things, but none of them is being put there in a smart or funny way, it's like they are only there because they put a goal on this game to have a lot of references.

The puzzles also have no logic at all in them, most of them literally require random guessing, yet the achivements require you to get them all right at first try. That pretty much forces you to cheat and look for the solutions online, because it's impossible to randomly guess the solution at your first try when it has no logic behind it (ridiculous things like "if that Star Wars character would deserve to die, who would need to be the one to kill them?", that's literally a part of one of the puzzles).

The game is also VERY long, it has like 7 episodes, which are really hard to take when the story is so boring and is just full of long dialogs that are not even relevant, and as if the long dialogs are not enough, there are also a lot of pauses in them. A LOT of pauses.

Bottom line, I lost interest in the story at episode 2, and from then on I just waited for the story to end. The best part about this game story-wise is literally the ending credits.

Cute match-3 game with some interesting twists. The story is a bit uneeded but can be skipped anyway.
The puzzles are nice and require some thinking, not easy but not too hard either.
Easy to get 100% achivements, and if you open the game in one of your alt accounts at the same computer, it also loads all of the achivements there so you don't have to earn them on other accounts (not sure if you have to own it on your alt in order to do that or not, cause I did own it on my alt).

Downloaded this to try a visual novel, as this was the first free one I could find that seemed worth trying.
I thought it would be a bit more dark, but instead it was just a very innocent story about young and childish first love with a sad end.
Emmeline's story is indeed sad, though everything around it is covered with a very optimistic and innocent point of view.
Some parts were kind of boring (especilly the extra scene) or predictable, but overall it was still interesting and nice to read, as I did want to know what happens next.
Very girly though, so not sure if boys will find it interesting as well.

Even though the graphics are really old and the resolution is really low, it is still playable and fun even today. It isn't obvious for a game to remain fun after 14 years, especially with all of the flashy new games that come out every day, and with the new technology, but this game is one of the rare games that still manage to do it.

I always feel bad writing bad reviews on something people made effort to make, especially if they gave it for free, but this game is even worse than the Digital Homicide games. Doesn't help that the whole thing is also pixelated to death and forces you into full screen. There are also no directions regarding how to even start the game, so I had to press every possible key in order to figure out it was the Z key.

As for the name, as an hebrew speaker I can confirm that it literally doesn't mean anything. The hebrew word on the title is a connection word that can't be said alone, a term used to indicate a direct object, so it's like saying "read the book" without saying "read" and without saying "the book". All you have left is just some random connection word that makes no sense and has no meaning. Only god knows what they tried to say by putting this in the title. I mean, technically that word could also mean "shovel", but I really doubt that's what they tried to call their game.

TL;DR: Get the cards and uninstall. The fact that this game even passed the greenlight system is beyond my understanding.

Super easy game, you can finish 100% achivements in a few minutes.
The design style is really old, kinda like the very first flash games.
I don't think the game is worth a whole dollar, but if you got it for free or for like 90% off discount, it could be a nice way to practice fast clicking.
It also has easy trading cards, if you leave the game open for a few hours.
I don't think this kind of game should have had 7 trading cards though, they all look the same anyway so it just makes it harder to get more than level 1 badge.

First of all, the story was super boring, so I had to skip the whole thing.
The game itself was mostly nice, the graphics were really good, and over all I did come back to the game a few times and tried to finish it, so it wasn't too boring.

It's possible to figure out and beat gold time on most levels once you upgrade your ship to the end, though I'm not sure how possible is the achivement for beating the whole game without to buy anything.
On the last levels I got too bored and didn't bother trying to beat the gold times, cause there is a thing that flips your controls at the middle of the race with no way to avoid it, and it was just WAY too annoying.

I was very disappointed to find out that nothing really happens at the end - you are simply being sent back to the first map (I even tried to recheck the story to see if it explains anything, but it didn't really). That was a bummer, as it doesn't even tell you if you finished the game or not, so I could only assume I did.

I think the game is worth the low price I've got it for, but I don't think it's worth its full price.
If you play, I recommand doing the first upgrade for each level in order to see the gold time you need to beat.

This was a very freaky game, in the good way. It starts like a normal story, but then... It gets weird. REALLY weird. I really recommand it due to the good sides, though there are some bad sides that I think you should know before you buy.

The good sides:
- The horror story is really good, and gets more interesting as you play. The boring parts (mainly chapter 3) still have beautiful scenes to keep you interested.
- The story is mostly not predictable, cause most of the things that happen during the game are SO weird that you couldn't guess them unless you saw screenshots/videos before playing.
- The graphics are amazing, the drwaings are really good and evil, and there are a lot of great scenes. I think the design is pretty perfect, even though personally I would give up the black blurry frame that covers the whole game.
- The story manages to be pretty original, which is hard to do with the idea of "a person wakes up in the asylum" that we have seen in many movies/games before.
- If you happen to have any technical problems, the moderators in the forum are really helpful in helping you solve them.

The bad sides:
- The game is VERY easy to figure out, as you are being told exactly what you need to do during the whole game. The puzzles are easy as well, there are barely any chat options, and overall you can't really fail or get anything wrong in this game. You don't need to explore too much in order to find the solution to everything, and most of the game you just watch things happen like a movie, so there isn't really any challange. This game is clearly made for adults and not for kids, so I thought it would be much harder. On the bright side though, at least the story itself is good enough to still keep you interested.
- There is no voice acting for the characters, which feels a bit outdated for a point and click game that was made on 2015. Most of the story feels like watching a muted movie with subtitles, which could work for other type of games, but with point and click the whole game is based on listening to the characters. I feel like the game could be 10 times better if it did have voice acting.
- Taking screenshots in this game is really complicated at the moment and doesn't work at the normal way, which is very annoying, mainly because the scenes are so beautiful and creepy that it makes you wanna screenshot the whole game.
- Unlike other point and click games, on this one you can't save different points of the game in order to come back to them later. The only options you have are to continue your last gameplay, start a new game (which will delete your last gameplay), and start a chapter of your choice from the beginning. This is not very comfortable, especially if you click something by mistake, or if you miss achivements.
- The main character does not have enough reactions to the scary things, including things that involve her dead parents. She is like, ok with everything, or maybe a bit angry for a moment, but the only thing she really cares about is her cat. In some points at the game it's not really believable for a 10 years old girl to simply not care or react to things.
- Sadly the scary and horror scenes really repeat themselves, and even though those are great scenes, they get a bit boring after a while. There are a few that will still surprise you, but most of them just repeat in different locations.

Accoring to the credits, this game was mostly made by just two people, which is very impressive when you look at the result. I would sure want to check out their next game if they ever make any, though I hope they would fix the above problems if they do.

I didn't think I'll actually play the game when I bought it cause it really isn't my style of games, but it looked like it has nice graphics and a cute badge, and it was super cheap, so I thought I'll give it a try. It was actually a nice game, and I ended up finishing it.

The story is quite boring, but the graphics were really original and different from other games.
The game is full of secrets and hidden things, most were fun and easy to figure out by yourself, a few were harder. Some achivements are either too hard to get, or too hard to understand how to get (as there is only one guide for this game at the moment and it isn't clear at all), so sadly I don't think I can ever get them all.

I don't think the game is worth its full price, but during sales or with a 90% off coupon, I think it's a nice deal. It's not a great game, but it is a nice and simple one if you like the graphic style.
