I loved this one, I have played every Glitch game up til this one, and this is the first one where I didnt have to use any clues whatsoever! That said, it’s still good and challenging and the puzzles were great! I’m only giving it four stars because my biggest criticism would be that there were several times in the game that I had the answer to a puzzle figured out (eg. the soda stain) but you have to do things in the correct order in order for it to work, so before I realized that I was bouncing all over the place wondering what I hadn’t tried, only to have to go back and talk to a toy again.

Its a clever and well designed game but i find puzzles being way to complicated without hints. Well worth 1 € though.

Great game but had to knock it down a notch because there was no access to hints so I had to go to YouTube to see how to pass the “gears” puzzle which made absolutely no sense. Even after watching the walkthrough. All the other puzzles were fair.

Just replayed it after several years since the first occasion. I’d forgotten quite how good it was.

I play a lot of puzzle games and these guys come up with the most difficult ones of all! Unless you have a lot of patience and / or intelligence, you’re going to struggle here! Having said that, it is a well thought out game and takes very many hours to do. The only thing missing here or hence, which are included in their other games. I suspect most people will meet them at some point! A very good effort though and highly recommended.

I really wanted to love this game but the hint button does not appear anywhere (I made sure I enabled the hint option). Also the microphone won’t work so I can turn the tv on. It’s not responding when I speak into it.

Other glitch games have been amazing. This one was... for lack of a better word, glitchy. The books on the shelf puzzle glitched, there was a clue for the six settings on the vent that never displayed, and at the end, the train clue never triggered. I had to rely on Appt Unwrapper to understand what was, in theory, supposed to happen. When a puzzle game like this glitches, it’s deflating because you can’t tell the difference between a bug and when you’re actually, truly stuck on a puzzle and just need to think outside the box. You can spend 40 minutes thinking creatively only to find out it’s actually a bug! Iteration needed but could be a great game if these issues are fixed.

Really enjoying the game. However, there seems to be a common problem with the backups on this game and other Glitch Games.
