It definitely scratches a Portal itch! The story is engaging enough, the premise ridiculous enough and the dialogue is funny some times. Game play, mechanics and puzzles are in a great spot. Very fun. Pretty inspired. It gets the larger picture stuff right, but falls just a bit short on the small stuff. Like in Portal, you could pick up things, interact with non-puzzle mechanic stuff. Pick up a radio and toss it in the toilet. Flush said toilet. Pick up a coffee cup and toss it somewhere. Make portals on any suitable wall, outside of intended puzzle rooms or story related locations. This game doesn't let you do that. You can interact only with elements directly related to puzzles, unlocked doors and occasionally a PC with some mail on it. There are coffee cups, printers, leaflets, chairs, discarded boxes, and whatnot all over the facility, but you can't interact with them. I wish you could just randomly click on a printer, and it tries to print something (and fails). Or read a few leaflets and brochures. Or toss away a coffee cup. Throw some random box. And I really wish your character could crouch! It's the little things, ya know? I wish those little things were in the game. It doesn't detract from the puzzles, or the main storyline. But I feel like those small things always add character to already quirky games. PS: the infinitely respawning aggressive robots absolutely suck. The first and second "chase" scenes were ok, but trying to solve "switch" puzzles while being blasted by pin-point accurate homing orbs from 5 different robots that respawn almost immediately is just sh*t design. And yes, this is a very common complaint. Check the discussions for more info. Edit: Act 9 and beyond, the puzzles get more frustrating the further you go. In Portal or Talos Principle, the "recovery" for messing up a puzzle is quick. You realize "oh I messed up", you may even have to start from scratch again but it's quick, generally painless. The recovery in this game is a bit on the time-consuming part, since the setup for puzzles is so complicated. Still having fun, but the pace is dragging a bit.

I highly recommend this game! The gameplay and puzzles were just right in difficulty for me, the longest time for any puzzle took me only 20 minutes, and I never needed to look anything up. If you like puzzle games like portal, then this game is for you. I also love the premise of the story, it kept me engaged during the playthrough and incentivized me to keep going till the end, although I did guess almost the whole thing relatively early on. 9/10 game for me. There were some minor visual glitches occasionally (though it could be caused by my graphics settings and pc specs). There were also a couple of ways I got soft locked, however since the game saves quite often automatically this wasn't much of an issue for me. I do wish there were decisions that affected the ending though, but the scripted ending was decent enough. The personal emails on the computers were hilarious to me. Especially the guy that stockpiled beans O_o

Overall is great, a few levels in and the central rewinding mechanism will start to make perfect sense. Most levels are easy but still satisfying to solve as I feel like I am rewinding like breathing: The game managed to educate me to think in reverse as naturally as think forward. ~5 levels are harder and very memorable as they require careful planning and mastering of all properties of the game world learned so far, especially on how the world handles the "forking of timelines". With the good things said, I must point out that the game definitely needs more polish/playtesting. This game is heavily inspired by Portal, where one can find references all over the place, and comparing to Portal a lack of polishing of details is apparent. For example, springboards do not cancel horizontal momentum when launching the player, and trajectories are slightly different depending on the location of contact, causing the player to fail to land at where they should land just because of minor differences in control. This from time to time leaves me wondering "is this springboard not the next step or should I just simply try again". Portal definitely does not have this as player momentum are snapped to predefined, deterministic values when being launched. As another example, the portable springboard has too small a hitbox. Every time I try to land on one, I will be very nervous placing them and later aiming at them, worrying if a small error in keyboard and mouse control will sabotage my entire effort so far. And, the FPS is steadily decreasing after hours of continued play. Something is wrong in the code. Overall, clunkiness and frustration here and there do not shadow the intellectual massaging provided, so here you go, a recommend.

Man what a cool game. Obviously heavily inspired by Portal but instead w/ time being the main driver. I bought this and sat on it for quite some time & I wish I played it sooner. Highly recommended.
