Our Expert Score

84/100

Ada's Study is a beautifully atmospheric and deeply immersive point-and-click puzzle adventure that feels like a love letter to the history of science and technology. As you explore the titular study, you aren't just looking for items; you are interacting with complex mechanical devices that look and sound authentic. It captures that 'The Room' style of tactile interaction perfectly.

The puzzles are challenging but incredibly fair, often requiring you to understand the basic principles of physics or logic to proceed. The sound design is a real standout—the clicking of gears and the hum of early electronics make the environment feel alive. It’s a cerebral, high-quality experience that rewards patience and observation. For fans of atmospheric mystery and mechanical puzzles, this is one of the most polished titles available on mobile.
