GNOG

The sensory experience of this game rules. Pushing, twisting and interacting with all the little doohickeys on the faces appeals to my brain. That being said, you do not need to play this game more than once. It's a fun first playthrough, don't get me wrong, but I don't see myself revisiting it since it's rather plain once you strip it of the audio and visual design. A sequel would go hard though, I'd love more of this. 6/10

Beat the first 2 levels 5 years ago and I finally came back to finish the game and I enjoyed it very much. Enjoyable puzzles and art. I saw some reviews complaining about the overall game design and puzzles because there is little-to-no instruction on the steps you must take to finish each level, and to that I argue... that that is the point. You're supposed to click, tinker, and experiment with the environment, see what correlates and affects other things to slowly but surely finish/build the monster head. If you still need guidance, you can just use a Steam guide or Youtube.

1/10 [h1]TL;DR[/h1] It has decent sound design, has nice animation and a beautiful color palette. However both the controls as well as the visual feedback of your input is straight up terrible and often misleads you in thinking your input for the solution is wrong. It felt more like a hidden object than a puzzle game -------------------------------- [h1]Pros:[/h1] [h2]Overall look and feel[/h2] [list] [*] A lot of effort went into the sound design and animation [*] Color palette is nice [/list] -------------------------------- [h1]Cons:[/h1] [h2]Gameplay[/h2] [list] [*] Input controls are bad. No keyboard support for interactions [*] Controls are not always clear and sometimes confusing - flipping pages should be the same movement as opening the book cover [*] Not always clear what you can interact with because the entire game is so vibrant and flashy. Parts may just become available for interactions after other actions have been performed WITHOUT changing any visuals or with a delay of such change of multiple seconds .... This often provides the feedback: "Your solution is incorrect", while in fact it is not [*] Other times you have to be very precise with your input to be val…

this is verry fun

Very cute and polished little puzzle game. A masterclass in sound design and intuitive controls! It also works very well with mouse (rather than a controller or VR), except for one small section in PURP-L which was too high to see, but which was easy enough to figure out from the rest of the level clues.
