March 2025
What a lot the negative reviews about the puzzle aspect about this fail to grasp, is this is not a puzzle game in the traditional sense and going into it with that expectation will of course lead to a letdown. This game isn't about pushing the human mind's capacity for problem solving cleverness to new levels. You're not going to be drip fed a steady stream of new game mechanics and increasingly complex puzzles that require you to use them all to advance forward. You're not gonna feel like a genius by the time you finish this game. In fact in some cases you might feel like a fool for struggling at certain points when the solution was painfully easy and thats really the point. The game is more of a lighthearted philosophical journey on introspection as well as perception. The puzzle elements really are just there to drive home the point in hindsight (after all perspective is a core game mechanic after all). The game's purpose is really to get you thinking a bit more, about yourself, how you view and interact the world around you and maybe even to question yourself on what drives you forward when the path before you is not crystal clear. So if you're down for so game that showcases the fun and wildness perspective has as well some chill vibes to go with some light narrative that will steadily get you thinking about yourself and maybe even will prove to be therapeutic for some people by the end, then this game will probably be a nice little treat. I say little because the game isn't very long. I guess the last question will be, is it worth about 20 dollars? To that I'd be inclined to say no, not really. However due to its good polish and quality, I'd say 15 would be a reasonable price when paired with how short it is. So I wholeheartedly recommend this game, but on sale.

A great puzzle game with cool mechanics. It is a very short experience, but I guess that is a matter of perspective isn't it?

Absolutely beautiful and well crafted game. It's short, but well worth $20 for the experience. I really want to see a VR equivalent to this now.

This is, without a doubt, one of the best games I've ever played. The puzzles were mind binding but not annoyingly hard, the music is incredible, the level design is divine, these devs are freakin geniuses. The whole end sequence had me so zoned in and in awe that I had to just sit back and appreciate life and this game. If you like puzzle games, get this. If you like games with a message, get this. If you love being alive, get this. Get this. 10/10

Just fantastic. As mind blowing as portal was when I first played that. I would love to play more games like this. Completely engaging, challenging puzzles, great design. And unexpectedly also a very important game with a very important story and meaning. I just wish it was longer. But hopefully the team will make more of this kind of game.
