This game is beautiful and tragic. I would advise you to make sure you're in a sound mental state before playing, but otherwise, I could not recommend this game more strongly.

The game is short, but it is a blast to play through. Highly reccommended.

This is a game that has a pretty narrow audience (one that I happen to fall into).

The gameplay, at face value, seems kind of stilted with the puzzles being restricted to the panels and having seemingly no regard for the world they exist in, but the game quickly teaches you that this isn't true. That are several puzzles that are impossible to solve without stepping back and looking around.

For people who like difficult puzzles that are satisfinging to solve in their own right with no external reward, this is definately the game for you, but I'm serious when I say there is no external reward. The game seems to build up to the ending, but if you were expecting a great one, you'll be disapointed.

The price point is definately the worst part of this game. $40 for between 10 and 30 hours of gameplay (depending on how good you are at solving the puzzels) is definately not worth it. I urge evereyone to NOT buy this game at full price, wait for a sale.

That's the bad out of the way; onto the good:

This game is a lot like Portal in that it is FANTASTIC at teaching you everything you need to know to solve the puzzels. When it introduces new mechanics, it does so slowly, and makes sure you have actually learned it rather than just guessed the correct solution before it moves on.

The open world nature of this game is also a great new take on puzzle games that it manages to integrate pretty well. There are 4 or 5 different areas that could all be a person's "first level" because of the independance of each section. There are some areas that require you to have some prior knowledge, but if you ever come to something you don't know how to solve, you can just take a step back, and go somewhere else for a bit.

I loved this game, but it is NOT for everyone, and you need to know that before you decide to but it.

EDIT: Upon the request of TUO, I continued on with this game and reached the alternate ending. It's definately more satisfying, but my problem with this comes from the fact that anyone who care enough to play the game twice to ge the alternate ending were obviously fine with the first one. It still doesn't address the people who wanted a satisfying conclusion on their first playthrough and thus quit the game.

I'll be honest, I don't love this game. I've had it for a while now, and have only clocked in 4 hours, most of that, just to play with my friend. He, on the other hand, loved this this game for some time, so I suppose my point is try it out, if you like it: cool, if not whatever, who cares? This game is pretty well made, but certenly not for everyone
