Amazing story, amazing writing, amazing music, amazing presentation, amazing experience overall. Absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to explore a dark sci-fi world that still has shoots of hope in it. The dice-and-perks mechanics reminded me a lot of Tharsis, which I also enjoyed a lot. I do wish the different subplots had a bit more direct interplay with each other or a bit more "after-action" content, especially in the late game when many have reached their conclusions and I found myself really missing some of the characters I had met much earlier on, but I understand the incredible combinatoric complexity of managing so many variables and can't really hold it against them, and anyway it's a credit for having written such memorable (and usually likeable) characters in the first place. Absolutely worth the time to experience, more than once.

Very pretty, very relaxing, unexpectedly emotionally touching. Short but very sweet.

Very cool little game with about a dozen different endings depending on the choices you make throughout the story. Some of the tools of the trade (represented by a variety of minigames) are much more annoying to work with than others, but they're all manageable in the end. The graphics are beautifully ugly in their dystopian way, and the soundtrack fits perfectly too. Some reviews have complained about shallow lore to the game, but I found a surprisingly detailed picture of life in The Structure if you only stop and pay attention to the worldbuilding scattered throughout the game.

You will need to play through the full game at least 3 times if you are an achievement completionist (one for each difficulty mode), but there are conveniently 3 main story-paths to explore, and the in-game days fly by once you're in the groove. Overall a very well-crafted and memorable experience. Recommend!

A great puzzle-game entirely worth its asking-price, the visuals are great, the sound-design is excellent, and the puzzles are just the right level of trickiness to feel satisfying without also driving you to a walkthrough. The in-game hints provide well-placed nudges, and there is no penalty for using them. The game length was enough to complete in a sitting or two, and gives you free access to all the levels after finishing so you can go back and replay your favorites! (I don't understand why every puzzle game doesn't do this by default, but it's definitely an appreciated thoughtful touch when they do.)

The main flaw I found was that some of the puzzles involving the rotation of dials or knobs would sometimes stop snapping to their set places or somehow fall out of alignment and the puzzle would become unsolvable. Fortunately just quitting to menu and then continuing will reset things to a playable state, but I did have to do that several times through the game. This is why I generally prefer simple clicking to control things rather than attempting to simulate actions with vague mouse gestures, but that's just my personal gripe. The controls here are generally fine and certainly not worth fussing about.

Overall if you like solving puzzles, this entire series is not to be missed!

What an absolute surprise-delight. Garden Story is an impossibly cute light-action-RPG with a surprising amount of depth to it, a lot of well-written characters, enjoyably catchy music, excellent worldbuilding, and an unexpectedly emotional story that you piece together as you explore and help rebuild an island of fractured and struggling communities. 100% recommend!

Very stylish, beautifully presented, short puzzle game that'll probably keep you busy for an afternoon or two if you take your time to appreciate it. The controls are mostly solid and responsive, though a few puzzles (mainly the ones involving wheels or knobs being spun around) can unfortunately behave glitchy because the possible wheel positions are free-spinning instead of quantized and don't always line up properly. You can even get to a point where the game can no longer recognize a solved position, after spin errors compound enough, and the wheel puzzles don't usually have a reset option either. Fortunately it is possible to skip any puzzle in the game without penalty or achievement-loss, so don't be afraid to use that option as a last resort.

My greatest complaint about this game is that after solving the final puzzle, you see a brief end-screen and can then reset your profile to start again from the beginning if you want. I think it was a huge missed opportunity for the devs not to give a completed profile access to all of the boxes (and perhaps even the 4-fragment room-puzzles) in the game to revisit on demand. Many of the boxes in particular were extremely satisfying to complete and it would've been really nice to be able to revisit my favorites without playing through the whole game again every single time. Maybe there could even have been a time-trial mode for each box! But this is only a complaint about how much greater it might have been. For what it actually is, the game performs very nicely indeed.

Really well-done narrative puzzle in the company of games like Tacoma, The Invisible Hours, or The Sexy Brutale. Navigate a fractured history of the final fateful week in a house full of vibrant, likeable characters expertly voice-acted and very well written, at both their high and (sometimes very) low points. The soundtrack is sparing but effective, with several catchy songs I wouldn't mind hearing as a collected soundtrack someday. The intriguing larger scenario that frames this game will clearly need further episodes to unfold and I really hope they're on the way! But even if they aren't, piecing a good timeline back together is a satisfying enough conclusion that this story is worth playing through even if it never gets a sequel. (It really should, though!!)

Picked this game up as part of a bundle and I admit my first reaction was "oh, not another game about 10 year olds getting into mischief and saving the world", but I was curious enough about the turning-points mechanic to give it a try anyway, and I am so very glad I did as it is easily worth the regular price by itself. Awesome story, amazingly well-narrated, gorgeously illustrated and scored, with wonderfully-written characters and a clear structure to the storyline but still enough interactivity to draw you in to see things through. Thank you to the Hiding Spot crew for creating this beautiful experience and sharing it with anyone wise enough to give it a try!

This is a beautiful little puzzle game of logical deduction and educated guesses. It's not a very long game, but it's long enough for what it is, and is still an extremely satisfying experience that left me wishing I could go on exploring the world even after the story had run its course. The puzzles were sometimes tricky but never unfair, and there's always a hint function if you really can't figure out what to do next. The music is simple but atmospheric, the graphics are charming, there are multiple possible story-endings depending on some critical choices you make along the way, but achievement-hunters won't find it frustrating to 100% it either (though I'd advise not looking at them before playing through the story at least once). The puzzles and answers are all the same in every playthrough, so apart from getting all the different endings the replayability is a bit limited, but if you enjoy the feeling of piecing clues together to progress, then this game is still absolutely worth your time.

PS. You can pet the cat!

Charming retro graphics, atmospheric music, responsive controls, a fun game-loop with good sense of progression, and an intriguing setting that makes you want to keep exploring to find out more about this strange place you live. Worth it at full price, even moreso when on sale!
PS. Just started on the DLC, which also seems worth it so far. So many new questions about the Wall to answer!
