31st prototype
Though the game was really short, I really appreciated playing it. The story, the puzzles and the art were really great and entertaining. I was invested in it and it was really fun.
The downsides were the wonky translations and the fact that I had a hard time to click into certain places (which was a minor issue) but besides that, it was all good!

ISOLAND: The Amusement Park
I love point and click games, and Isoland games do it really well. Puzzles can be very difficult to solve, but the overall style is great. Each game has a theme, Isoland 3 theme is science fiction and Isoland 4 Surrealism.
– Real player with 8.2 hrs in game
If you have played any of the other Isoland games then you will love this addon too. Beautifully drawn and challenging puzzles (but not over the top) it will keep the best of us entertained for a few hours. Excellent value for money and highly recommended!

Tales of the Mirror
Bless whoever come up with this art style! I’m rarely play game like this because it such a pain to go here and there asking, and can only save after you finish a day, so if you mess up you have to replay EVERY step. And go through so much other pain just to finish this, like watching Chinese playthrough, draw every words in gg trans when I get stuck, hoping to find the clue to continue. I wish the developer give or sell the complete guide, I want to max trust with Nan Chau, help Ko Yuh-hung and San-niang be friend etc T.T
– Real player with 61.8 hrs in game
The art is pretty good but the story is not attractive anymore. The logistic of each evidence is not strong enough and there has time limit for player, so there is no time to enjoy.
