Looks like interesting take on Portal, but... complete lack of directions - what to do, how it work, etc. Failed to leave first location, there was some clippy that asked to grab and drop an object and then... he simply vanished. And that's it, 30 minutes of trying things at random - but no way to understand the mechanic behind all of this //

In Chiral, a sci-fi psychological horror/comedy first person puzzle game, where you'll assume the role of a disembodied brain in a jar, paired with a digital AI companion. Together, you'll navigate a labyrinth of mirror, laser, and gravity puzzles that will challenge your spatial reasoning.

[h1]If you have no patience to wrestle with janky physics, stay away[/h1] Thats the main problem with this game. It makes most item interactions and movement exhausting. Throwing items sends them flying across the entire chamber, wildly spasming in the air and on the floor while doing so. Clipping through walls, platforms etc happened quite a few times. Sometimes I had to wrestle with the jank of the game, to make the setup do what I want it to do, retrying several times. This frankly ruins the fun factor of the game. An another serious issue is that the game throws such a curveball with the prologue, right out of the gate. You are dropped into a pretty huge cublicle office with virtually no guidance or direction. It resembles kind of like an escape room, not a puzzle-chamber game in the vein of Portal like what the rest of the game is (and what most people will expect going in). I am an experienced puzzle player, so I found the way out relatively fast, but this will confuse many pl...
[h1] Creepy weird story with clever puzzles [/h1] The good: [list] [*]Puzzles (Most of the puzzles are very clever and leave you satisfied once solved) [*]Story (Approximately 5-6 hours long. There isn't a whole lot of dialogue which is a huge plus for me considering how annoying character writing has become lately. Most of the story is told through employee logs you collect throughout the game. The game starts out weird and confusing but the logs and environments tie everything together if you pay close attention. Glad nothing was spoiled in the trailer.) [*]Music (Creepy, eerie, haunting, and goofy music, it's great. The OST is free if you don't believe me) [/list] The not-so-good: [list] [*]Physics (Videogame physics have never been perfect and this is no exception) [*]Some bugs (The game is constantly being updated so this could just be early launch stuff. Was still able to complete the game.) [/list]
