Dec. 2024

I loved it, I feel like this game was aimed at me with a laser. The design, the music choices, even the footsteps echoing through the halls, it had great atmosphere with a minimalist feel. I enjoyed the need for pen and paper. The puzzles kept coming back to me throughout the week which was a nice surprise. I found myself pulling the notepad out on the train or on the couch at home, to finish them away from the computer, which was a rare and lovely thing. I've loved everything MB has put out but this might be my favourite :)

Matthew Brown is my favorite Indie game dev. I put hundreads of hours into his "-Cells" games. This one started very well. The atmosphere, the refined look and the music playing in the background is relaxing. Sadly I cannot say the same thing about the game. The puzzles are lovely, the only part is that they are only in english. I can speak so no problem right? The puzzles are way too hard imo if you are not a native speaker. So I might try it later when I am even better in english :/

这是一个很好的游戏，只是对英语不太好的人不友好，虽然我才玩了一小会，但是，它整体简洁的画风，再配上如此舒缓的音乐，让人在游玩的过程中感到平静，能让人静下心来思考里面的问题，总之比较推荐。 This is a really good game. However, it's not so friendly to those who are not good at English. Although I've only played it for a short while, its overall simple art style, combined with such soothing music, makes people feel calm during the process of playing. It enables people to settle down and think about the questions in it. All in all, it's quite recommended.Of course, if you can understand what I said without the help of a translator, just pretend that my second sentence doesn't exist.
