It's a good puzzle game. Good if not great story. I almost wouldn't recommend it, due to the puzzle mechinics weren't "taught" before you needed them and or knew that you could even do them. ie like jump into a pit and just as you do, click to switch to a robot. or put a box down to block a door when you can't block a door. there are several like this, but other than that... a fun puzzler with a good story.

Nice story, good moral philosophy, not so hard puzzles. I liked it!

I went into this game not entirely knowing what to expect. But once I'd finished the game, I was thoroughly impressed. The developers did a fantastic job of creating a complex AI system. Think HAL from 2001, Ash or David from the Alien franchise, or AIDAN from Illuminae Files (for those who have read it). The dialogue was also fantastic and there is on audio file close to the end that gave me literal chills. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys sci-fi or just some good story telling. And please, please, please read all the documents you can find throughout the game. They really make the game ten times better and show the care and attention these devs put in.

Pretty solid, polished first person puzzle game that lasts a couple hours. Clearly inspired by Portal, not that that's a bad thing, as there is an AI overseeing and narrating while you solve puzzles in chambers. The puzzles don't ever get too difficult but are thought provoking enough. New mechanics are very quickly introduced throughout the chapters which keeps it fresh. There are also 7 optional puzzles in between each chapter that offer a bit more challenge. The reward for completing them is a hit or miss, with some having interesting lore at the end and others being quite a let down for the effort required. The narration is high quality and the story was decently interesting albeit fairly shallow. More definitely could've been done with it but it holds up well enough. The narrator only speaks when you first enter a chamber, unlike for instance Portal where GLaDOS yaps throughout playing. It would've been nice for the narrator to yap more so we could understand the story and character better. My interest waned towards the last couple chapters. The chambers increased in size but not necessarily difficulty - they were just tedious, not engaging. The fact that all the chambers look the same didn't help with that. This was further compounded by the ending that was a bit... goofy and disappointing. Overall, it's not exceptional but a decently fun time. I'd recommend it on sale.

Welcome to the end of civilization. I loved the game. Great story about the ethics of artificial intelligence. The visuals and audio are very good. Rooms are generally easy to medium difficulty. If you like Portal and The Talos Principle, this game is for you. To set higher fps, open the console (~) and type t.maxfps <number>. Enjoy the story and solving challenges.
