Dec. 2024
A cool little puzzle game with (minimal) nonsense where progression is impractical. The atmosphere and ominous architecture are definitely the main attraction. There's even a cool little story buried deep under it. Worth the price of entry. If you're looking for fast-paced game play or don't have a ton of patience, this isn't really for you.

Kairo is in stark contrast to most first person puzzles. It doesn't flesh out it's universe much and doesn't uses some new puzzle mechanics. Actually it feels more like a fleshed out version of a very early attempt at making a 3d game. You know, you make some 3d objects, you launch your engine and you get weird, empty, vast spaces. This is the feel that you'll get with Kairo. It's weird, vast and empty. But even though it feels like a very cheap, try hard "weird" game, it actually manages to be consistently good at keeping attention with clever puzzles one after the other. The industrial soundtrack is helping a lot as well. I don't know. It's not a game for everybody, but it's quite an interesting 3 hours.

I wish there was neutral and not just recommend or not recommend... I did not play enough of this game to say that but... I did feel the need to note that the game has such a creepy atmosphere that I very quickly did not want to play it, it is just too stressful

The best compliment I can give this game is that it feels like a genuine abstract glimpse into someone's mind. It is frequently incomprehensible, and its puzzles often hardly attempt to communicate themselves at all. It is often beautiful, with some breathtaking views and fascinating architecture. It is art beyond the understanding of everyone but its creator. If you like that, you'll like this.
