Eurogamer criticized the game, noting that while it had "a nice idea and some gorgeous artwork", it was "a mechanical MacGuffin hunt with no characters, no narrative, no substance or resonance beyond a couple of wistful haikus about seasons passing". It said the puzzles were not very elaborate, with movement being tedious.
