First 5 mission I was interested, after then till mission 10 playing without passion, after mission 10 to the end of game started to check solutions from guids just to pass them.
The reason is not that I’m not a puzzle mind gamer, on contrary I have huge passion for this genre and played a lot, also having BD in Nautical science with GPA 4.78 / 5.0 and a proved high IQ level, but the point about this game is like having academic project researches but in different majour of yours that no concern to you.
Just if developers added more gameplay elements and improve their mechanics to have players little more immersed, afterall this is a game not a research project where player only have to google some keywords and reads plenty of lengthy texts to fetch some codes or matching phrases to google them again in long chain which could last for hours.
The game have essential innovative elements, that could develope into great game if for example player have to search in-game world for some texts, pictures, artifacts, codes,… not google them on browser, or deliver a package to in-game lab instead of sending them e-mail from real domain ( which we do every day in real life, and comes at the end of day to relax and escape those issues by playing games ).
All the best.
