A little artistic puzzle game with some interesting mechanics. Liked the art style. Got some fine music. Some cool mechanics. The shadow concept, while not new, is an interesting way of adding a bit of puzzle platforming. Sadly though, several puzzles are very tedious. When you're trying to figure out how something works, more than half the time is you waiting for your character to get to the correct spot, do some thing, wait several seconds more for some animation to finish, notice it didn't give the correct result, repeat. And this is not just once, it's all over the place. It's a really nice piece of art. You might want to pick it up just for that. Just know what you're up for when buying: a very slow paced puzzle game.

Started playing mouse-based games since I can't use my left thumb (I usually prefer a controller). This is the first on my list and even though I've only played a little bit, it was already totally worth it. Very strong and coherent visual style, beautifully animated with a fitting score. The puzzles don't seem very hard so far, but they're a lot of fun. I certainly don't regret picking this up. (I didn't really play that many hours, I just have the game running while being distracted) EDIT: Played some more and the gameplay does get worse. About half of the puzzles become hard because it's not clear what's interactive, the game does a pretty poor job at hinting and just moving around becomes cumbersome. Keeping the thumbs-up, but you'll likely need a walkthrough and a lot of patience in a few spots.
