About the game

SOK is a sokoban classic puzzle game. The goal of the game is to move all the boxes to their positions. It's not as easy as it seems. The player can push one box at a time, but do not pull it off.
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, GTX 1050, 51 MB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

Across all 100 discounts in the 9 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 6 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 65 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. On the same math Paquerette Down the Bunburrows ($11.99, scores 71) and Patrick's Parabox ($19.99, scores 74) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Incredibly tight and well-crafted. It nails the exact vibe it goes for and leaves you with a massive sense of satisfaction.

100 puzzles that are nice and enjoyable by being a good balance between not frustratingly difficult and too easy. For the $5 price tag a little bgm would be nice, really barebones but the puzzles are good. Edit: there is a free DLC that includes extra features like undo, music, and dark mode!

It's sokoban. Having one achievement per level is very satisfying because you can see the falloff of other players as you complete levels. Easy levels might lose 0.1% or 0.2% while harder levels might lose 0.6% or 0.8%, at least, through the 30s and 40s. I'm on level 47 now.
