Review Quotes

"Different approaches to puzzles, games of chance, and more will have readers racing to unlock all the endings. Shiga's artwork is minimalist but elegant...a stand-alone adventure that can be enjoyed on its own, but those eager for more should pick up the earlier installments. With a scenario this engaging, every path is a winner."--Kirkus Reviews
