Ever played Go? It is said that artists tend to be excellent players even without understanding the game, because they choose moves that are the most "beautiful" - and these tend to be the most correct ones. Unlike in chess, where everything can be calculated and predicted with perfect accuracy, it's a game that can (even must) be vibed out. Go is a "right-brain" game, while chess is a "left-brain" one. Puzzle games tend to be very "left-brain". Mathematical, logical, and so on. I mean, can you imagine a "right-brain" kind of puzzle game? About emotions, vibes, words? Turns out you don't have to imagine it, because here it is. Like a proper puzzle game, it never explains anything ever, but instead it teaches you through examples and patterns. The patterns themselves might follow rules of logic, but the solution usually requires you to play with... whatever you're given. I can't really expand here, figuring this stuff out is part of the game. Also, if you ever played Antichamber, this is like Antichamber 2: The Good Edition. Let's be honest, Antichamber never was a particularly good game, but the non-euclidean environment and the vague messaging of self-improvement was nice at the time. So this removes the self-help, changes the nature of the puzzles and keeps the non-euclidean geometries and here we go. It works! Every once in a while you find something like a challenge chamber - it tests your understanding of a concept, and if you get all the puzzles done, you're awarded with a title (aka achievement). I thought the game is quite challenging, but actually a surprisingly high number of people have some really tough to get achievements! Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker so it's naturally a little harder for me, or maybe it's because people use guides, who knows. Or maybe it's because the game is actually pretty good and lots of people power through it despite the difficulties! 30% of players have the "beat the game" achievement. There's still more to find there, and I'll likely keep playing because of how huge this game is; took me 15 hours to get there, I did not use any guides, but I did think together with a friend on a part, and they really helped me see something I had issues with (thanks, Crows!). Oh, and there is a hint system, but it's hidden and limited. Still, it was enough for me. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42922988/]curator page

Extremely clever linguistic puzzle game that gives you that "metroidbrania" itch better than most. It can be a little bit aimless at times, and a bit hard too. You may be sailing through 95% of the puzzles in this game until you hit a roadblock - the problem is, it's often hard to tell whether or not that roadblock is due to you not understanding the rules of a certain puzzle or because you simply chose the wrong word - that can be frustrating, but since there are so many puzzles to try, it never hurts to leave a puzzle and return to it another time! The game has tons of content and I'd suggest using a little notepad to keep track of what each thing represents.

I LOVE this game. I thought I would never experience the same level of sensation I had playing Antichamber again after trying other games, but now I'm really happy to discover this gem. Despite not being fluent in English I'm totally hooked (on dictionaries). Thank you so much!

One of the best word puzzle games ever with the caveat that navigating the space (ESPECIALLY with the default textures) is INCREDIBLY difficult and a lot of the "puzzles" are really just mazes with no landmarks. I don't want to be too harsh because the rest of it is really enjoyable, even if some of the purple blocks are EXTREMELY questionable I can still easily recommend it for the price.

This game is a TRASH (bottom black box). Solving the puzzles in this game make you LEAF (top black box) like a genius. I've only played for 4 hours so FART (middle red box), and I've had multiple epiphanies regarding the puzzle rules. Seriously WON (top white box) of the most UNIQUE (white middle box) puzzle games I've played. Buy this game.
