  • Adventure
  • Puzzles
  • Narrative

You have died and boarded the Babel, a cruise ship to the afterlife. You travel back in time, use a pen to rewrite the event that got a character into trouble, and the butterfly effect changes the story. A notebook helps you connect clues.

Why play it now

When you have a few afternoons for a story with puzzles: its four chapters last around ten hours, and it has an ending.

Who it's for

For players who enjoy working out causes and consequences and don't mind reading plenty of dialogue between puzzles.

When not to pick it

If you don't read English comfortably: there's no Spanish version and the English translation is flawed.

What it offers

  • Story: 85 out of 100
  • Thinking: 70 out of 100
  • Relaxing: 55 out of 100
  • Exploring: 40 out of 100
