Explanation to Negative Feedback
Lack of music
The music will appear at the start and when you get into the puzzle, but once the soundtrack has hits its end, that’s it. You don’t get anymore music unless you tinker with the sound settings, which will initiate the music once more.
The problem is it does the same thing.
It stops and doesn’t resume.
If you’re not a fan of sitting in silence, I suggest you simply mute the volume and listen to your own music in the meantime.
Stories don’t make sense
And I’m not saying that they don’t make sense overall, but because slide puzzles take a while to do, the stories don’t have a proper pacing from one section to the next.
Bear in mind that you can go to the stories section of the menu in order to read all the ones you’ve acquired, but I find myself not too keen on reading them altogether considering they’ve already been shown to us after every puzzle completion.
I would’ve rather they had a ‘story updated’ alert after every puzzle to incite people to read the storyline altogether as a whole.
Tile hints too close to reshuffle
Oh, I hated the moment I realized this because I’d been on a puzzle a little too long due to not knowing which piece connected to another part, and so I went to check the tile numbering and went and clicked the reshuffle instead.
Needless to say, I was mad. So mad.
Written by AI
Yeah, there’s no way these stories weren’t written by AI, given how they’re written, plus the slight repetitive nature, which while people are known to repeat themselves, it’s not quite like this.
Everyone has their own writing style, including AI.
The fact that there are spelling mistakes on the Steam page and the devs write off the stories as told by human intelligence is a bold lie to make to anyone who plays the game.

Three storyline slide puzzles
Which is one more than they had when I started playing the game.
So you’ve got the ‘Is There A Cat’ storyline, which features eight puzzle scenarios, the ‘Ranger Under the Moon’ storyline, with seven puzzle scenarios, and lastly the ‘Moon Shade Tarot’ storyline, with a whopping twenty-two scenarios.
Keep in mind each of these slide puzzle scenes have more than one puzzle amount to get through, starting from easy to difficult, so this is definitely a game for people who enjoy the slides.
If you’re worried, the game does offer hints on which piece goes where.
