April 2025
This game was recommended to me after telling my friend of "The Talos Principle" and I see where they are coming from. You have to solve puzzles in order to unravel a story about a personal tragedy and the human mind, as the name implies (Thalamus is part of your brain). The game looks pretty, the artist was very creative. There's nothing inherently wrong with the game, but... too bad it also feels cheap. It was clearly made on a low budget. The slow walking speed got slightly annoying, but I spent more time standing and thinking (and admiring the view) than walking. I had ZERO crashes or technical issues. I think it's worth the price of around 12 bucks.

The path to the thalamus is beautiful, unstable, mysterious, and unkind.

Highly abstract 3-d puzzle with mediocre voice actor and beautiful visuals. If you get stuck - use walkthroughs. Some are old though, but there are some correct for certain achievements.
