Incredibly short but mildly frustrating. If this cost any more, there would be no way I could recommend it. For the price, it's a fun and short little mind-bender. My biggest frustrations come from a handful of levels that fail to provide proper explanations as to how to solve them. A good puzzle gives you everything you need to solve it within itself, the puzzle part being figuring out how the pieces go together. You should see what you're supposed to do and try to figure out HOW you're supposed to do. I will admit, for the good puzzles (Which is most of them), I had an excellent time. The problem is those 5 or so puzzles that had no obvious solution. When I finally looked up the solutions, I didn't go "oh yea, I'm an idiot!", it was more like "how the hell is ANYONE supposed to figure this out!?" Only one puzzle that I was stumped on actually had a logical solution that I would have figured out if I hadn't overthought it, but I was so brain-fried trying to figure out the rest of the unsolvable puzzles that I couldn't solve that one. On to presentation, the workshop environment is simple but suitable, and the UI existing in-world is a nice touch. I will say that the ASMR sound design is nice, but the total lack of music made the game feel a bit empty. I personally rectified this by playing my own music in the background (C418's "Excursions" to be precise). What it does, it passes the bar, but it never tries anything too extreme, which I suppose is okay being a casual title. Overall, my opinions on this are mixed. I absolutely LOVE puzzle games, and this definitely scratched that itch, albeit only for the short time it took to 100% the game. Despite this, I'm not sure if I do or don't recommend it. Were it something else, I may have dissented, but the dirt-cheap price really makes it hard to be upset. Maybe get it on a sale, but I at least had a good enough time to check out the sequel; here's hoping they've rectified my issues.

In each level you're presented with a box and you have to figure out how to activate it. It's a bit like their other game "Don't touch this button!". Expect to have to look up the solution to some levels because they're just too obscure. The controls aren't great: you have to drag the mouse from side to side to rotate a knob. This isn't a traditional puzzle game, it's about figuring out what is asked of you.

Thought this would be quick and easy, maybe an hour or so of play time... Wrong. A small handful of puzzles were either so simple and I was over thinking them, or they seemed to make absolutely no sense, even with hints, or the straight up answer, from the community. Over all, probs a 6 or 7/10
