Just before the auction starts, Howard discovers the opal has been appraised for significantly less than his initial estimate of $1 million. Garnett returns the opal before the auction and offers to purchase it for $175,000, but Howard refuses, given the substantially larger appraisal. After an awkward Passover dinner, Dinah rejects Howard's plea to give their marriage another chance. Feeling betrayed, Howard demands that Julia move out of his apartment.

![]() The problem comes in that the story of the planets and stars together with the logic is totally flawed. It is also not in the same league as all of The Room and Davinci games all of which I have completed. It reminds me of The Talos Principle but comes nowhere near the professionalism of that game. I have no doubt that technically this is a very good game but it is the most confusing, muddled, boring and monotonous game that I have ever played. If you enjoyed the room then you’ll be sadly disappointed. When you’re relying on a walkthrough rather than the flow and workings of the game then i don’t think I’ll bother. ![]() Frustrating and hard work to just keep randomly stumbling about hoping you’ll find something. I can see what was trying to be achieved but the end product looks rushed, unpolished and not much thought given to the end user. I’ve been stuck on one puzzle for hours and I know I won’t be able to do it, I never can do those ones so I’m really stuck. And if you’re rubbish at certain styles of puzzles like me I’ve yet to find an “ohh ffs I just can’t do this, help me out” button. It reminded me of those dungeon trawling games from the 90s!! There are NO hints at all in the game so if you get really stuck you’re on your own kiddo. The graphics, whilst good, cause their own issues and make it difficult to distinguish between something of interest or just blocky graphics. ![]() Also you have no idea when collecting multiples of items whether you’ve collected them all. And it’s for the simple reason that there is absolutely NO logic in some of these puzzles. I don’t like to disagree however this isn’t anywhere as near as good as any of The Room series or House of DaVinci, or indeed a fair few other games out there.
