This has to be the most chill video game ever made. It's a pure puzzle game, with no time pressure whatsoever, and everything about the design is set up to make for a relaxing experience. The puzzles are not at all easy, but they are nowhere near as hard as games like A Monster's Expedition or Steven's Sausage Roll (disclaimer: I'm not all the way through yet). The mechanics are almost absurdly simple, and new mechanics aren't really ever introduced, but it's surprising how many hard puzzles can be made out of such simple ingredients. This is a perfect game for someone who has never played modern puzzle games to get a feel for what they are like. After this, it's straightforward to move on to more involved games. If you're a puzzle game fan, don't pass this up - it's a lot of fun! EDIT: Once you get to the "dream world" puzzles, more mechanics do get introduced! 🙂

overall it was pretty good. i played it slowly while i was doing other things and i left it open a few times (not actually 9 hours. more liek 2-3 if you're taking it slowly?). a few puzzles were tricky but nothing too hard as the space was so small. i dont remember how much i paid for it but i got abotu 2-3 hours of enjoyment, and it was nice and relaxing. some weird hidden level at the end, but i didn't understand what to do about it but yeah would recommend. a nice simple puzzle game.

As is typical with Sokoban-esque puzzles, there's a lot of walking, but the controls are fairly decent feeling with queued inputs. My only real complaint was the fact that you could not disable the "lean into a bush" mechanic. Other than that, 10/10 puzzles. Without revealing too much (and still spoilered for your convenience), there is [spoiler]a second stage of the game after you solve all of the initial snowmen puzzles. The second spoiler gives some ideas to help you understand the relationship between the first and second stages[/spoiler]. If you're struggling [spoiler]in the second stage, it would help to understand that there are four worlds total during the second stage of the game: the starting "normal world" with all of the snowmen (the one you just completed), the "fake dreamworld" which you can access by exiting the north gate or sleeping on a bench at any time in the starting "normal world", the "mirror normal world" which you can get to by the south gate from the "normal world", and the "real dreamworld", which you have to get to by sleeping in the mirror normal world. Only the "real dreaworld" has the harder puzzles that give you one of the achievements.[/spoiler] H…
