Epiphany!

Really hard and rewarding puzzle game. Took me a while to even wrap my head around the concept. Try it if you like mind challenges. Be sure to read the rules (available from the main menu) before playing!

Epiphany! is yet another minimalist puzzle games that's somehow here on Steam instead of locked onto the app stores where this kind of shallow game belongs. In fact this seems more like a 1990's browser app than a mobile app, and that's worse. It really is very simplistic in terms of UI, but the gameplay is a real kick to the cranium. The situation is made worse by the extremely badly translated "rules" that are your only clue on how to play this game, and as a result, nobody played this game. Check the player stats down below and try to keep a straight face... it's bad, it's really bad. Anyway I guess to try explain how this works, you're presented with a clue object, and this object has a couple of properties... colour, number value, and shape. You're presented with a bunch of objects with slightly different values for each for those three properties. You must choose the correct one in the sequence... but how to know you're choosing the right one? That's where the game is... there's hidden rules for what determines the correct match. You may need to choose a value greater or smaller than 5, or the same colour, or the same shape, or the same number of sides... thing is,…

I'm the only reviewer who did not receive a FREE copy. So I will be honest in my review of this game. Game can no longer be downloaded because it contains a virus. Even when it was playable, Epiphany! was very buggy. It contains large empty white boxes with missing illustrations. Music is annoying and distracting. The text has typos, for example: The word "my" should be "may". The rules are very difficult and are never explained. I've only won a few games by pure guesswork. This is supposed to be a logic game! The description says each game is procedurally generated for high re-playability. I've had two games in a row with the exact same two rules! There is NO tutorial as described. There was an update promised to fix these problems last May. Unfortunately, the developer never bothered to keep his word. It's apparent he's already abandoned this unfinished game. Also, the developer, Lenon Kramer never responds to any posts or emails. So don't expect anything to ever be fixed or explained. Watch the only video of this game on YouTube by a very confused gamer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpwz5rNQK6k&t=206s

Interesting, but I cannot in good faith reccomend it - the mechanics are neat, but it horribly needs some manner of introducing new players to it - easy mode, hint system, in-depth tutorial, something!

Play with numbers and get confused by being logical about it all... I understood the basic's of the game, fun and casual.... https://youtu.be/Kpwz5rNQK6k
