Haven't felt this engaged in a puzzle since Portal 2. I really like the mechanics, the art and (so far) the narrative as well. The learning curve for the puzzles is well balanced, becoming more challenging as you proceed, also, collecting the origami adds a complexity for those who want to challenge themselves further. The folding mechanic is really creative and I haven't played anything like it before. Definitely worth buying if you like puzzles / chill games.

Adorable and soothing. Wonderful artstyle and interesting evolving gameplay mechanics. Don't fold on this one.

this was my first time playing a proper video game! i thought it was so fun! the puzzles did feel a bit repetitive/boring at the end, but i don't hold it against the game... i would recommend playing this game slower and over a long period of time

A very cute and creative puzzle game where you discover more of the map and the puzzles by physically folding the map like paper. A nice, chill game to play when you need to unwind, however some of the maps are far from straightforward and take a lot of fiddling and thinking. Some of the levels could get pretty difficult and infuriating at times, but never not fun. I got a little obsessed with finding and collecting all the extra hidden origami, gotta love a side quest. The art style and sound is incredibly beautiful and is not to be overlooked. Lovely little game overall.

This really is a lovely game. Puzzles are well thought out, the aesthetic is beautiful, the story sweet. There was only a few times where it felt frustrating to collect an origami that I'd left behind (I should have done it halfway through the puzzle instead of waiting till the end, ect, but those are my fault!) and even then the solutions still made sense! I'm a big fan of HUE and it felt really good to sink into something quite like it again. Thankyou to the team for a wonderful game~
