Eric Watson verdict:
"A truly puzzling deathtrap dungeon that invokes the Portal Games, the Saw movies, and D&D’s own Tomb of Horrors, check out the uniquely rotating puzzle rooms within “The Secrets of the Twisting Colossus”.
Endzeitgeist verdict:
“An alchemy-themed masterpiece requiring player skills over PC skills. One example of the rarest breed of adventure – a genuine puzzle-dungeon that makes sense”.
‘The Secrets of the Twisting Colossus’ is a tale of alchemy and transformation. The heroes are the material components in the creation of an addictive potion. They are lured into the experiment by the alchemist Paricalus, and once they understand the true purpose it will be too late. The only escape is to understand the subtle clues around them and to keep moving forward. At the end of the experiment lies salvation but also the grand finale. If the heroes escape the experiment, they can confront their tormentor.
