This is an amazing game, that pushes the intelligence of the player beyond other games. For non players it is a new game, but for old players it is like putting the games upside down. The player can do several things new to any similar game (like stop time, wathcin multiple realities). The game can be solved in original ways Enrique Niclós. Workshop 2
