If you want puzzles, the game is pretty slow, the puzzles are easy and not that well implemented. If you like the aesthetic from the trailer just play Manifold Garden. Can't speak to the story since I didn't get to most of it, but it's not much of a puzzle game.

I liked the puzzles, but everything else was obtuse and intentionally edgy. It made enjoying the puzzles much more difficult because the esoteric characters were interspersed throughout, frequently pulling me out of the thing I'd bought into. Maybe the fact I beat SOMA immediately before playing this has put an unfair comparison in my head, but I can't honestly say that any of the heavier themes in Recursive Ruin are handled with tact. Crack cocaine!!!
This is one I'd rather have a "Not really" button for whether I'd recommend or not. No feels too negative, yes feels too positive, but I am overall more neg on the game. Even the a-ha moments were underwhelming.
[Mild spoiler if you care]
One of the final "dialogues" in the game has a character from earlier exclaim "I finally understand!" and my literal response was, out loud, "I'm glad one of us does!"
