While I really enjoyed some of the developer's other games, like Mr. Fast and Crowd Simulator, I can't recommend this puzzle game with some very light physics sandbox elements. Because, only around a dozen levels in, the game presents the player with a QR code to scan. And as we all know, QR codes are a scourge upon the Earth. They're dated, inconvenient, ugly as sin, and fraught with vulnerabilities and risk. Beloved only by out-of-touch boardroom types and marketing grifters. Reliance upon them in games not only, as appears to be the case here, breaks the game when the upkeep of the URL they point to lapses. It also contributes to normalizing a dangerous practice smartphone users engage in thoughtlessly on a daily basis. That of pointing their phones, the nightmare bricks that double, in the modern age, as many people's most commonly-used form of identification, at these easily-hijacked links.

About This Game
This is my first indie game on Steam. I played a lot of puzzle games before and found the puzzles in these games are limited to the game itself. I want to bring a different game experience to players, so I designed some puzzles which need players to find the answer out of the game itself. It makes our real world part of the game, but is our world real?
The game has seven endings, corresponding to seven achievements. Complete all levels to unlock the first achievement, and for other endings, it requires players to find out the secluded room to unlock.
Finding hidden secluded rooms in the game is also a great pleasure and achievement of the game.
I want to use this game to expose the relationship between human and the God, where the future of mankind is, the relationship between human and nature, the final end of mankind and the way home. Everyone is the performer of their own destiny, life, old, sick, dead, love, hate, parting, and so on.

Nice game that would even be more nice though if the devs would react to help-questions in the discussions...
This game made me think deeply, but the downside of this game is objects are quite hard to drag on PC version. The pause option doesn't really pauses the game. I did the QR code puzzle, but I can't complete it because it only redirected to the developer's page. There's no other way to skip that QR code. What a waste of money.
Sadly the only one to not recommend from this devs as for today. Gameplay is similar to Crowd sim but the fun and the craziness are not there. This should be an horizontal thumb. Play everything else from this 2 devs, especially Crowd sim in this genre and for which an extension is coming but do not start with this one to not risk a disappointment.
amazing puzzle game!
