It was incredible! Once you fully understand what you can do, there is nothing that can stop you from getting anything anywhere. Puzzles and movement become mere toys, all thanks to the power of switching gravity to any direction whenever and wherever you like. I highly recommend playing this game. The lack of story is actually beneficial as it allows you to go at your own pace, and I know that there will be people who will struggle to grasp the skills needed to complete this game. To those, I encourage you to keep trying. It will be well worth it.

This one is really, really good. In a lot of ways it reminded me of another exceptional, surreal puzzler called [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/219890/Antichamber/]Antichamber , and because we are all the universe experiencing parts of itself subjectively if you're reading this then take it as a sign from the cosmos to play both. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3295122417 Manifold Garden has a neat way of stretching your spacial reasoning and perception. The game really encourages you to think without directionality, a lot like a 6dof space sim. This isn't that though, I'm just sayin. Also, it looks 100% pretty. I fell in love with it fairly early on when I was traversing a flight of stairs and I lost my sense of direction to the point where I could no longer determine if I was going down or up. Huh? How does that even happen? Wat. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3293873676 The difficulty is dialed in pretty well, in that there's defo some headscratchers that feel satisfying to crack, but at no point did I feel overly frustrated. There's also no dexterity based challenges, which I often find annoying when they insist on shoehorning them into puzzle games for whatever reason. The singular blemish upon Manifold Garden's expansive and frightening perfection is a particular puzzle when you first encounter the monolith tetris pieces. There's a leftover yellow cube with seemingly no purpose or function. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3294664963 I mean it's prolly nothing, but god damn I cannot get the fuckin thing out of my head. Why was it there??? Just a red herring? Was it purposefully planted to confuse players? Or does it hold some deeper secret? It can power a massive barrier that seems comically oversized so there might be something more to it. The extent to which that thing occupied my mind was really kinda funny. Maybe that was the point. idk. Spiral out.

it's funny how games with deep stories never get a deep touch in me, then a game, with 0 humans, only concepts, makes me feel strong emotions like crying from joy. i respect works like this so much. thank you.

hardcore puzzle enthusiasts will call this game "too easy" but since i'm a dumbass i instead opt to call it "extremely well-designed" and "remarkably intuitive." based video game

April 2024

A very short puzzle game overall. However there is far more to this game than a simplistic puzzle element. Without any illustration whatsoever the game tells a story and if you're observant enough to appreciate it, you'll love this game. I didn't understand it at first but you will understand if you reflect on the game. It speaks depths about life and the limitation of time we have. There is also a very challenging secret path in this game that also alludes further into the self assessing life reflective story. Brilliantly crafted game.
