Here to There

There's no narration, no story, nothing to even attempt to connect the disjointed rooms the developer haphazardly slapped together. In the short time I played, there were two lateral thinking puzzles, a memory game, a jumping sequence where you need to avoid falling off a raft while destroying obstacles, and a room where you're given a gun and have to track down and shoot some ghosts (lol?) and pull some levers. No reasoning is given for any of this. The game feels like those extremely low-quality Half Life 2 maps that people would make to teach themselves how to map, and then publish for fun. It does not feel like something that should be on Steam, and definitely not sold for money. I would avoid this one.

I don't want to be here or there. More irritating than fun, momentum makes the jumping a dice throw. I don't want to do the same bit over and over until I find the one right way.

A pretty cool little indie puzzle adventure game. This certainly isn't the next Portal game, it's very indie, but for the developers first game here on Steam, and for the low price tag of $8 USD here on launch day, it's pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4lTIJnANpY Recommended if you're not expecting a $30 or a AAA game here and you like these kinda games.

*updated review* So apparently you just drop into the pit and turn around. Still no idea if the rest of the game is good but it shouldn't be negatively reviewed because I suck at games. Would still argue that it needs SOME kind of introduction section. *original review* No idea if there is anything more to the game because the very first puzzle is apparently impassable. From the trailers, it looks like there might be some clever FPS, puzzle gameplay but there is no tutorial included and if there is something I am missing in the first puzzle, then I guess that's on me. I would avoid this until it has had some updates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UtJfVLDkGs
