THANKS, LIGHT.

Got yelled at by an attractive light bulb. 10/10, would recommend. Thanks, Light. feels like a combination of Portal and The Stanley Parable. The environments have a glitchy liminal aesthetic, and the puzzles start out easy yet get progressively more complex. So far, I haven't come across any I had real difficulty in solving, but the puzzles can be time consuming and involve a lot of trial and error. The demo gave me a feel for what the puzzles would be like, but they become far more challenging in the full game! However, the real reason I bought the game is the Administrator. An entity with a tuxedoed avatar and a light bulb head who plays the piano when he's not designing the perfect game? Sign me up. I can't help but like and empathize with him (even if he does turn red and yell at me sometimes), and even aside from the cut scenes, I'm thoroughly enjoying his commentary as I play through the game. The English voice acting for him is superb as well. My favorite dialogue so far: "Perfect. This is it. This is exactly what I wanted. Can't we just keep doing this?" It gave me flashbacks to TSP's Zending, and now all I want is to make the sad, angry light bulb happy …

At the time of writing, the game has a 100% positive review score with 43 total reviews. Something about them seems off. There are several large issues present, its unusual not a single review is negative... Here's a real review. I don't find this game fun at all. I reached level 17, Pinball, before calling it quits and refunding. The puzzles are solvable almost at first glance, yet take multiple minutes to execute the solution due to clunky, slow, randomized physics. There are only 2 main mechanics introduced by the time you reach pinball. The first mechanic is "put the square shape in the square hole". You pick up different shapes, and put them into holes in the walls to open doors. Eventually these shapes become Intersection Solids. An intersection solid is a 3D object that has a different silhouette (square, triangle, circle, etc.) depending on how its rotated. The first 30 seconds of this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-cNofvv8nk ) visualizes it. This doesn't actually increase difficulty or add to the gameplay in any way, its just makes it more finicky and time consuming to put the square shape in the square hole, because you have to rotate and position it precise…

I had a great time with the demo, so I bought the game as soon as it was released and have completed Stage 1. Compared to the demo, there are more chapters and more content, and the added story sequences are clearly noticeable. Its biggest strength is a gameplay style that sets it apart from traditional puzzle games. The core idea is simple: you clear stages by transporting 3D shapes. What stood out most to me was using a flashlight to obtain shapes and then applying them in the right places in each chapter. I also think the game’s distinctive graphic art gives it a unique atmosphere. My main reservations are with the story presentation and some of the sound design. The story sequences felt a bit forced into the stages, and they didn’t do much to boost my immersion as I cleared them. I don’t think story is a major part of a puzzle game, but I’d hoped it would add more. The background music was fine, but some sound choices, such as the administrator’s voice and the bug sound effects, felt a little grating. Conclusion: The design impressed me by letting you obtain shapes and use them where they fit within a simple control scheme, and I’m curious how the gameplay will expand as you…

The fourth wall has fallen... Good game

I am clever

It’s a brain-burner that eats up a lot of time, but the payoff when a puzzle clicks is so satisfying. The design feels really tight too: early mechanics keep coming back in smarter ways, and the difficulty ramps up just enough to keep you hooked. And right when it starts to feel too hard, the next chapter introduces the flashlight, and suddenly that rough patch makes sense.
