Illusion: A Tale of the Mind

Illusion: A Tale of the Mind is by far one of THE most underappreciated and underrated games I have ever seen on steam. It's underestimated regardless of its "mostly positive" rating and some of the reviews below are extremely unfair to the game. I was surprised it has such a low price tag, then I understood it lowered price as the time went by. The game itself is COMPLETE. Nevermind reviews saying it has an open ending. It doesn't. The story IS there along with everything you need to understand what happened and how it ended. Yes, I can see a story for a next addition but it doesn't change the fact that this game is full. The gameplay itself is smooth and easy (or better.. easy to control) but it will require a few tries on some levels. The puzzles are fun with a medium degree of difficulty and vary between them as to not do the same thing over and over. Above all is the story itself, the characters and how it is presented inbetween of the puzzles. I liked all characters (including the villain), the voice acting is very good, the story is complicated enough to spark interest but also simple enough in the end to understand exactly what happened. The visuals and sound are exceptio…

This is a Mouse only game no need for keyboard. Story line is great, it is a puzzel type game and gotta use your head. Some parts are a bit hard, I closed the game a few times but come back after a day and figured it out.

cant get past thr chapter 1 arcade sequences which totally destroy the fun of th game

The game is great and very beautiful. But after chapter 1 comes a long running sequence that I wasn´t able to do with my mouse touchpad. It looks simple in a YouTube walkthrough, but very time I tried, the character died. Too bad, I would have loved to see the full story evolve. I read that others had problems, too and had to stop the game. What a shame... I got the game with a big discount, so I can still recommend it, but only for chapter one.

The artstyle and atmosphere is really well done, but the gameplay is quite boring, so I can't bother to continue. Puzzles are mostly aligning the camera.

Beautiful visuals and story.
