KNOWN ISSUE: After the update yesterday we have had reports that reset fails to correctly reset t...

When I got to preview Order of the Sinking Star, I was pretty impressed with what I got to experience. Really dedicated puzzle games are few and far between, and I’m always interested when one has a good idea behind it.
