I'll try to be concise with my view. The game is beautiful and the puzzle mechanic is interesting, however around half-way through the game you start feeling that something is missing, that something is complexity. The game does introduce new elements to the mechanic in each chapter, however there is no increase to complexity, in fact closer to the end it becomes more simple. It does feel that the devs either ran out of creativity, or feared to scare the public away with harder puzzles. All in all the game is good and is worth playing, but it is no where near Portal or Talos Principle. A story, that is very cliche and as equally poorly done is another negative side of the game, albeit easily solvable with tuning out.

The game was good, probably like a 6-7/10 I'd say. I could tell it was inspired by Antichamber, one of my favorite games of all time, but this one feels like it lets its environment design and storytelling take priority over its gameplay. Also, they REPEATEDLY said that sound travels faster than light, from a character who's supposed to be a scientist. Is that a joke? Is that supposed to say something about how their world differs from ours? Part of me believes that somehow they actually flipped them around, but honestly that seems too basic of a thing to get wrong. Were they talking about specific dense media where sound waves travel unusually fast and light travels unusually slow? I really have no idea what that was about and every time they said it I was confused.

A good puzzle game which could be 100% improved by the removal of all dialogue.

One of the most innovative puzzle games, similar to Superliminal. Puzzles are not too hard, but very fun to solve.

I found myself completely disinterested in the story of this game. I quickly gave up on reading the notes and answering the phones, opting instead to rush to each ending as fast as I could—which wasn't particularly challenging. There were only a couple of puzzles that made me pause and think, but even those were in optional rooms and took just a minute or so to complete. When a game offers numerous possible solutions, it can sometimes feel like there are too many answers, leading to some solutions that might be considered borderline cheating or at least feel a bit cheesy. While the concept of the game is promising, I felt the level and puzzle design didn't quite live up to its potential. The final level, in particular, was disappointing. A major shortcut was handed to the player, which removed any sense of challenge or pressure. Overall, if you focus solely on the puzzles and ignore the story elements, the game is decent and unique. I'd say it's worth playing if you can get it for $5-$10. It's relatively short and, although there seem to be many hidden tidbits, I never felt compelled to explore every nook and cranny to find them.
