quite easy

I really wanted to like this game because I'm a big fan of Cthulhu, H.P. Lovecraft and the setting this game is based on, but it is probably one of the weaker Key Enigma games.

Like Kalinasu there are only 4 chapters (plus a bonus expansion via Kickstarter) but unlike Kalinasu, each chapter is very light on content both online and in the envelopes. 

The difficult puzzles seem to be based on interpretation skills rather than actually hard puzzles, some of the props you didn't even need to interact with at all beyond a quick glance. 

It feels like a lot of time and effort were put into images  that pad out the setting, but aren't part of puzzles, so you don't specifically need to interact with them. 

The ending was particularly lacklustre.
