Enjoyable Sci-Fi puzzler that has unique mechanics and an interesting story. Good length at ~5.5 hours for me.

It was good! It was forever on my playlist, I picked it up, loved it for like 8 hours, got stuck at a puzzle and left it.... returned to it after like 1 year, used a guide to solve it and discovered it was the last puzzle I had left! Ending happened 5 minutes later and... that was it? After slowly setting up the mystery and the intrigue... the ending felt too flat and sudden, with more of a huh? than an aha! Even if the story ended half-cooked, its head-scratching puzzles were worth 9 hours.

Wow. What an extremely fun game! You feel so powerful with the swapper device! The puzzles were moderate with some being difficult. The game did not feel repetitive or boring. Highly recommend!
