The visuals are skillfully woven throughout, serving not just as eye-catching backdrops but also as subtle hints to help me along the way. Similar to other point-and-click adventure games, an inventory of gathered items from my room is at my disposal – a treasure trove that could hold the key to solving the enigmas ahead!
