April 2025
I don't think anybody else has done music puzzles better than FRACT OSC. This game asks you to explore and have fun in a way that feels interesting and creative, without ever making its puzzles too convoluted or complicated. It's a series of formidably simple puzzle ideas done really well, with a ton of audio feedback. All of the game's polish is in the audio and in responding to the events happening on screen. The audio really heightens the experience in a way that I think other puzzle games struggle to do meaningfully. The puzzles aren't pushovers, but they remain limited in scope in a way to always have a meaningful relationship to the music. Unfortunately, I found myself getting lost and teleporting back to checkpoints often. I'm the kind of person who loves tresspassing, and I spent a lot of time deliberately checking boring-looking corners and walkways for potential "stuff". I found it hard to feel like my time exploring was 100% worth it, especially with how many death planes there are to try and put you back on the right course. Frustratingly, a lot of achievements ask you to explore caves that look nearly identical to ones that will either respawn you immediately, or get you stuck and require you to respawn yourself. Even the main progress feels a bit confusing at times to navigate, as the whole world is large and takes time to navigate. Despite that, this game contains a truly unparalleled level of love for synthesis and electronic music. It comes with its own rudimentary step sequencer and in-game virtual synthesizers, so you can get a feel for making music without knowing any theory or having to learn any new professional tools. It's good clean fun for aspiring music producers and I think it excels at being an interesting puzzle game with something new to offer.

It feels to me like ever since The Stanley Parable came out, every other puzzle game tries to incorporate a snarky, sarcastic tone or insert some forced meta commentary, so it felt really good to play a puzzle game that was straightforward and just focused on being fun, even if this title isn't actually all that new. The game's surreal atmosphere does a great job of enticing you to go forward and explore as you solve one puzzle after another. The neon visuals work together with the game's unique incorporation of music to not only solve each puzzle, but get really immersed in them. There were a few times where it wasn't completely clear where you were supposed to go or how a puzzle was meant to be solved, but those instances were rare. Otherwise, the difficulty of the puzzles was mostly a perfect balance between not being too hard, nor being too easy. The game isn't too long, but if you're looking for a great, well-crafted puzzle experience, I'd highly recommend this one.

I absolutely adore this game. It makes me very happy to play it. It is visually stunning, absolutely gorgeous. The music is wonderful, I love how it adapts and changes as I solve the puzzles. I love just wandering around in this world, taking in the views and listening to the music. I wish I could play this game for the first time again. It is criminally underrated and I want to recommend it to everyone I meet. I just auauaioiuuioo I love this game so so so much.

Neat puzzle game. Not sure what to do once I unlock all the instruments, but there's some more lock icons in the studio. Maybe someone more musically inclined will figure it out. I enjoyed it, and it basically comes with a free music mixer once you figure out how to turn everything on.

It's a bit niche. Not super complicated in terms of puzzle solving. I feel like finishing it at some point but it requires the right mood. Maybe in the winter...
