A nice puzzle game. Beautiful graphics. A lot quite abstract in nature. Does what good puzzle games should do - leaves you to find for yourself how the mechanics work without a too-heavy helping hand. There IS a story - but it's another thing that isn't given to you on a plate. I'm only half way through now and I've got some theories but that's all they are - theories. The only niggle I have with the game is that...
Slow, tedious puzzles that are generally one note, combined with sophistry and unexamined beliefs on levels previously thought left in the 1600s. In the first hour and a half of gameplay there are two decent puzzles, with the rest being uninteresting reskins of the same tutorial puzzles. Combined with a slow walking speed, this puzzle game is frankly not worth your time
