  • +you like choosing your own route through an open world

What players say

94% of 1,672 reviews are positive · 80% of 21 in the last 30 days

Players praise the clever puzzles built from simple log-pushing rules and the humor in the exhibits. The most common complaint is that the long series of island puzzles grows repetitive; some players also find it hard to navigate later areas.
