What real reviews say
★★★★ 满分游戏,但iOS版略有不足 这是我非常喜欢的游戏,但是我希望能够支持高帧率画面,支持跨设备云存档,和支持fov调节
★★★★★ For real puzzle fanatics It’s my favorite puzzle game of all time. Revelation after revelation. The atmosphere is insane, I spent hours just wandering around the island. The reason it’s only a 4 star on the App Store is because it’s not easy. And the masses despise games that don’t hold their hand and tell them how great
★ Severe Nausea & Motion Sickness I feel so nauseous after barely playing for 1/2 an hour.
