🧩Enigmatic cube dipped in intrigue and sprinkled with ancient secrets. It’s the kind of game that makes you feel simultaneously brilliant and bewildered. You’re in a dimly lit room, surrounded by ornate furniture, dusty manuscripts, and inexplicably locked drawers. Your mission? To solve puzzles and to unravel mysteries that would make Da Vinci raise an eyebrow.🕵️‍♂️Remember, the key to solving life’s mysteries is probably hidden behind that suspicious-looking painting.🎨 😄Disclaimer: The author of this review may or may not have been trapped in a puzzle box while writing it. 🔐

This is a pretty slick puzzle game, that manages to avoid being too frustrating to solve as its challenges are reasonably logical. The hints it provides are just enough to get you on the right track generally, as rather than outright offer the solution it gently nudges you towards things you may have missed. At it's best there's an enjoyable mental challenge to be had, along with pretty slick and engaging presentation for what is presumably a small team or solo developer. At its worst, well, the vast majority ranges from fine to great, but there's a couple of irritating perspective puzzles that I really hated. It was annoying when Hellblade did it, along with Horizon Zero Dawn and Middle-earth shadow of war, and its no different in this game. Fiddly, tedious and not really an actual intellectual conundrum in my book. More just an exercise in managing to restrain yourself from punching your monitor and gritting your teeth till its solved, and then getting some happy relief that they don't do this too often. Just enough times that its somewhat of a blemish on an otherwise excellent and satisfying product. There's a story to this and its relatively engaging, albeit a means to keep you involved rather than anything truly exceptional. It succeeds mainly through teasing your brain and some pleasant stimulation of your senses, with appealing graphics and sound, and snazzy sequences considering it is quite limited in terms of assets. You have this box and it keeps warping and morphing, as with each puzzle solved it seems to transform into another stage that breaks any physical realism regarding its form, but it looks pretty nifty and cool. The controls are straight-forward and overall its a pleasant enough way to spend a few hours. If you took away the crappy perspective puzzles (that stumped me far longer than anything else) there's still around three hours to be had, and considering the reasonably low price I'd still highly recommend it. Though I hope they got rid of them for the sequels and focused on more thoughtful logic problems, which the majority of this game is.

Quite a good puzzle game, me and my kids enjoyed it through. Especially those matreshka boxes, hidden one beneath the previous ones... The story, though, the conception of revealing Astaroth through solving riddles feels troubling... Still, a fair 9/10 mark from me!
