I don't like puzzle games and prefer games with good storytelling and atmosphere. But other than that, if you buy it on sale, it’s well worth the money. $20 is too much for this short of a game. Tell you the truth, this would be a 10 from me if it wasn’t so expensive. I liked not having to sift through a walkthrough for this one (except once). The puzzles were a better level of difficulty than Limbo as well, more manageable, not quite as difficult. Nonetheless, I liked that this one had a world you could learn about a little more easily than Limbo, and that added a lot to my personal interest in the game. Inside 9/10 Really liked the art style and the sound was well done, although I thought the booms got a little too loud sometimes, particularly when dogs were chasing you. I subtracted one point because the puzzles were so obtuse in places, and another point because of the price-$20 is too much for such a short game. So, while personally I would’ve given this a 6, I’ll give it an 8 here, because I know I have a certain taste and the puzzles were possible. Some of the puzzles were so hard I had to look up a walkthrough to get through them, which I personally don’t like (I’m more in to this genre for the story), but I understand that others might. None of these are top tier and none of them are notably ‘bad.’ But when I play this type of puzzle platformer, I’m looking for a moving story with interesting puzzles, and this was more of a tough-as-nails puzzler with a story that only really showed its face at the very end, and even then, not much. ![]() ![]() On one hand, the art is passing (not great, but not bad), the sound is fine, and the story is fine. I subtracted a point for that after averaging my scores for the two games, then rounded up to 8. I subtracted a point for that after averaging my scores for the two Buy on sale, because $30 is too much dough for about eight hours of game.
