Could've been great puzzle game if it it wasnt so buggy. I think i got hardlocked into the first underwater room with roman numeric pillars. Couldn't put the power supply back into the machine after taking it out. Save and load system doesnt work properly either so i couldnt jump to previous save.

Well. I appreciate the years of passion went into the project, and there's much to be proud of in the result. It's a very short but coherent puzzle game with enchanting level design. The [i]Myst[/i] and [i]The Witness[/i] inspiration is quite obvious. Alas, it does not work very well as a game. The puzzles are just not very satisfying. A few are too tedious, involving trial and error, rinse and repeat. And two pattern-matching puzzles made no sense to me at all. Worst is the need for pixel-perfect clicks. For example, I spent half an hour trying things again and again in one area, to no avail. In despair I looked up a walkthrough and discovered that something I clicked on *multiple times* had to be clicked on from exactly the right angle. Maybe some players will get it right, but I'm sure I'm not the only frustrated one. There are also technical issues. Right from the start I could see that the settings menu was buggy. I was unable to set my 4K resolution and ended up playing at 108...

I was hesitant to buy this game due to some of the bad reviews on here but after buying it on sale and playing it I couldn't believe how harsh some people are being for a pretty decent puzzle adventure game. I didn't have any serious bugs and had to play with the display settings a bit to get it right but other than that it was solid. I didn't find the puzzles too easy as a lot of people said. Some require a bit of outside the box thinking which is what we all want in a game like this. Only one I didn't understand was the roman numerals one. The world is surprisingly big and the art is really beautiful. Story, voice acting, setting were all captivating and immersive. My only regret was that I didn't buy it earlier. It goes on sale a lot so definitely so try get it at the reduced price.
