Sunflower Code

The dev released the game on Linux when asked about it, which is great! At least on Linux, the game runs in windowed mode only and in hardcoded resolution. While the setting is nice, especially due to Van Gogh paintings, the game is clearly made by beginning gamedev. It's not bad per se, it's just good to set your expectations right. The story is simple, the rooms are mostly similar to each other. Some puzzles and hints are somewhat illogical. There are translation bugs and graphical glitches here and there, but the thing really hard to pass over are problematic click targets. These sometimes make it very difficult (still possible, though) to pick up or activate objects, because placing cursor directly over them does not trigger action. You just have to circle your crosshair around to find a right place to click. This is really annoying especially in the last level and for this reason I can't recommend the game yet.

Too much slow walking through a field, then a maze of rooms to find notes and cyphers, which are too few and far between. Bonus-the mask appearance may end game. It all feels silly to me. I experienced quite a bit of lag as well despite my PC exceeding minimum specs.
