An enjoyable puzzle game that feels like the games The Witness and Tacoma mixed code to make. The puzzles have a nice range of difficulty meaning a lot of trial and error. You’ll either get a puzzle after 1-3 attempts or you will have to methodically process every potential move you have to get through a level. My only complaint is as I play the game on my steam deck, no matter what settings configuration I go through or find as a recommendation, the game is awful with visual glitches. The only game bug I found was in a single level I managed to disconnect from the wire you run around the level.

I've finish 4 (almost 5) of the different puzzle categories, and man, they're all incredibly challenging. I think that puts me at roughly 1/3 done with the game, and I really love it so far. There are also some "corrupted log" riddles you can solve, which are more optional environmental lateral thinking puzzles that are pretty cool and tricky. I haven't looked up a single solution so far, and don't plan to, but that means there were a couple of puzzles that took me over half an hour to complete, though most took me much less time. If you're persistent and really love the feeling of reward you get from that a-ha moment that gets you through a diabolically difficult problem, and don't mind occasionally feeling like your brain is melting, this game is for you. If you're not really fond of flexing the folds in your grey matter, there isn't much else here for you to do. I'd say this is one of the more difficult puzzle games I own, which puts it roughly in line with the more demanding entries in the Zachtronics catalogue. It's a very different kind of intuition that I haven't spent much time developing. Programming problems, even complex ones, are all fairly familiar since I have quite a bit of experience solving them, but wrapping ropes around pillars with a bunch of space and rule constraints? What else is even remotely like that? Maybe a knot theorist would find this game to be a cake walk, but I had to power through that learning curve and build the intuition from scratch, which was enjoyable.

Recommended for masochist puzzle lovers. Part Witness, part Braid, part Mastermind. Really ramps up the difficulty in the final areas. 7/10. Fun but does get a little tedious.

A very difficult, very long puzzle game, with tons of secrets. Well worth the buy.
