Answer Knot is a short, story-driven experience that echoes radio dramas of the past. While I can't mention which ones, because it would absolutely spoil the plot, suffice to say this is a familiar story in a new package. Good voice acting, decent graphics, and simple tasks make this a quick coffee break game.

Pros
+ Compelling narrative
+ Emotional delivery
+ Detailed environment
+ Well executed sound design and ambiance
+ Free

Cons
- No introduction to controls, and some items can't be interacted with until after a certain call.
- Constant lens flare
- Minor graphical mistakes (ie, stairs lead into the ceiling)
- Lack of tangible connection to player character dull the climax
- 30 minutes or less in length

It appears to be the first effort of a new developer, so there are understandably a few rough edges, but beyond these is an engaging small tale. This review was written from an early build, so some issues above may be addressed in coming updates.

Achievement Hunters: Completion achievements, the others are self-explanatory by their description (stand still 3min, replay message 3x, etc). Easy 100% and possible to perfect in one run.
