It's a beautifully made, simplistic indie game that stands out because you are playing as an old man with a cane. Not to spoil the story, but it's sweet and simplistic and makes sense when you finish it because it shows more than it tells. The puzzles are super easy, I never got stuck for more than a few minutes. There are no red herrings and they lack the complexity of games like Myst, but some require a bit of thought or experimentation. The real challenge of this game comes with the speedrun achievement. It's something way harder than the core game and it requires you to practice the levels many times to memorize everything. I got it on my third attempt so it's not the hardest thing ever but I had to spend a few hours practicing the levels to make sure I knew absolutely everything. It's kind of funny because you're doing a speedrun as a senior slowly walking around with a cane, but it's also frustrating because it's not clear how to time certain button presses and the cutscenes can't be skipped. While I was annoyed by it I'm glad there was actually something challenging here because I found the base game too easy, and while this game isn't a masterpiece it is very well made and poetic all the same.

Very short game. Puzzles are fun for the most part, though mostly on the easy side. One or two are harder/border on frustrating. The music is generally sad and sometimes creepy. It develops the atmosphere of the game well, but there is very little story, even with the clear attempts at environmental storytelling. You can probably guess the extent of the game's narrative just from the trailer. Overall, a relatively fine way to spend an hour but definitely wait for a good sale to get it.

2D adventure game in which you guide an elderly man through a world full of puzzles and memory fragments ✅Very large number of puzzles, varied in difficulty, and a mixed bag of puzzles; some are easy, while others require a bit of thought ✅Good graphics ✅Very good dark atmosphere ✅After completing a chapter, you can go back and complete the puzzles again ✅Good sound design that suits the game ✅Variety of locations ❌The developers could have added some hints for players, as some puzzles can be challenging. ❌No save option; the game saves automatically after completing a chapter. ❌Some puzzles are beyond your control and require trial and error. ❌The game isnt worth the price; it's better to wait for a sale ✅✅ Verdict: Very Bad , Bad , Average , Decent , Good , Very Good (Rating scale for tested games) If you have any questions about my reviews, feel free to ask. I'm happy to answer them. All reviews are my own!! Best regards, King Viking Bezimienny, Polish Game Reviewer

Heal is short, sweet, and sad. A small puzzle game about an old man dealing with grief and keeping his memories with his loved ones. The art style is nice and the game is cozy in some ways. It is primarily a puzzle game at the end of the day and it didn't hit as hard as Distraint 1 and 2 did. 7/10.

God, I’m so afraid of ending up doing useless crap like that when I get old. I’d rather just play computer games. In this game, we’ll solve all kinds of puzzles by moving an old man left and right. Starting from the first level, you’ll notice the atmosphere is very similar to Distraint. And the gameplay, at times, too. You walk around the location, look for clues, and solve puzzles. The gameplay is very, very simple but engaging. Some puzzles will actually make you stop and think for a while, straining your brain. Other than that, it’s a charming little playthrough that’s definitely worth a couple of hours of your time. If you read the review and liked it, don't forget to give it a thumbsup;) The further - The better♥️
