I played this game and oh man, what a gem it is. A great puzzler that is sure to make you scratch your head from time to time - a solid recommendation if you enjoy the genre!

The Bridge is less a puzzle game and more a series of visual riddles brought to life. Drawing inspiration from the impossible geometry of M.C. Escher, it transforms the act of solving puzzles into an exercise in perception, patience and quiet contemplation. At its core, the game invites you to manipulate gravity and perspective to guide your character through hand-drawn, black and white environments. Levels begin simply, teaching you to rotate the world and shift direction, but soon evolve into intricate challenges where gravity wells, inverted planes and paradoxical spaces demand careful thought. The solutions are rarely obvious; instead, they reveal themselves slowly, often in a satisfying moment of realization rather than brute persistence. The presentation is striking. Every scene resembles a charcoal sketch, richly textured and evocative of old storybook illustrations. The soundtrack is subdued and melancholic, complementing the sense of quiet introspection that defines the experience. There are no timers, no pressures; just you, the puzzle and the gradual unfolding of logic. Technically, it runs smoothly, its minimalist design ensuring a distraction-free experience. Controls are straightforward, though the deliberate pacing and floaty movement may feel slow to those expecting something brisker. Yet that slowness is part of the design, it encourages careful observation rather than rushed trial and error. So, The Bridge is a meditative puzzle game, one that challenges not only your logic but also your perception of space. Elegant, cerebral and beautifully atmospheric, it rewards patience with the quiet thrill of seeing the impossible made possible.

What a great puzzle game. You twist the whole world to find an exit. I honestly believe these kind of games can prevent dementia. I don't often play puzzle games so it was a bit difficult at times. I finished the basic levels and then found out that there are mirrored levels who are even more of a brain twister. The art style is also one cool thing I liked.

Escher like puzzle game, about 2.5 hours. Fun enough on the steam deck, doesn't outstay its welcome.

Shake the tree with gravity, An apple thuds you awake. Look around at solid ground, You realize your mistake. What did that apple do to me? This is definitely not reality! Why do I control gravity? Who put all these puzzles here? Why the hell did I just veer? Rewind and shed no tear. The mirror is no clearer, Pure madness goes on. Problem solve evolve, Until the mind is gone.
