I think this might be one of my all-time favorite puzzle games! The minimalist design might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I personally found it charming :). The puzzles are all unique, with some of em offering challenges that’ll have you confused and frustrated for quite a bit. Combine that with some lovely sound design & an immersive soundtrack and it’s easy to lose yourself in the game for a good few hours. That said, the game’s biggest flaw imo is the recently added storyline. The whole narrative about saving humanity feels tacked on and just unnecessary. There’s no twists, no humor, no unique interactions, nothing to really hook you into the story, just leaving it as a lackluster addition that doesn't bring anything cool but drags the experience down a bit. Still, the voice actors have done a fantastic job, especially the one who voiced Commander Nowak !! Anyway, if you enjoy some nice puzzles and a slightly eerie atmosphere, this game is definitely worth your time :)

Solid short puzzle game with a decent story and some challenging levels later in the run. If I can beat it, they can't be THAT hard. This game does feel very dated with no fov slider, no fps options other than vsync etc. You might be better off paying a few bucks extra for the 10 year edition or whatever, but for what it is, this Director's Cut is totally playable and fun

Inspired by Portal but is its own thing. Short, makes little sense, but a pleasant experience and I wanted it to last a bit longer which is always a good sign. Don't pay too much for it, it is short.

i see colors, I play The puzzles have a decent difficulty, yet ,you need to figure out the actual outcome, is not always the most obvious answer. Short but entertaining, worth on sale, works good on the deck

I had fun. Short, not too difficult. Other commenters mentioned the NPC dialog wasn't with the original game; it was okay, but I can definitely tell. It was interesting but had no relevance to the actual gameplay. Also, no subtitles, so if your hearing sucks (like mine), good luck lol. Still though, it had some fun physics puzzles. If you enjoy that sort of thing, give it a try :)
