Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
An amazing experience story, puzzle, and exploration-wise (easter eggs). The story is heavily focused on existential questions and shows some interesting points of view. The puzzles are all pretty manageable and there are some harder ones on the more secret path. Did enjoy the easter eggs, as there were some pretty cool and creative ones, and they did give the game some replayability value. As I was replaying the game for final achievements, the puzzles were no longer a problem and you could speed through them, so being able to notice some new details and find new secrets made it more worth it.
