You’ll have the option to receive up to three hints per puzzle, guiding you towards the solution without giving away too much.

The events in the story occur (mostly) in real time and there is a timer to see how fast you can solve the puzzles. After each puzzle you get a score based on how fast you solved the puzzles and how many hints you used. Do you prefer a more relaxed type of game? Don’t worry! You can just ignore the timer and take as long as you like.
