Dimhaven - The Lost Source

I am intrigued by the narrative but am going to finish this game with a walkthrough, because the puzzles are absolutely baffling. The most unintuitive solutions I think I've ever seen in a game. As a big fan of these types of games I can recommend many, incluing QUERN, but not this. [spoiler]The circuit diagram looks like the kitchen cabinets?[/spoiler] REALLY? That was my breaking point.

unfortunately for me it is a no.. I had high expectations due to amazing Quern. But even with those expectations I think the game falls short. It has a lot of misdirections in the puzzles 1. [spoiler] the converter circuit puzzle (the wrap around part - I think i found a valid solution based on instructions that didn't work [/spoiler] 2. [spoiler] the second converter puzzle i was able to randomly solve without using any clues at my first try trying from the center grid and the angled folding cable just guided me to the solution [/spoiler] 3. [spoiler] i kind of hate investigation puzzles to find who is who etc so that one in the kitchen playing cards had to look up[/spoiler] 4. [spoiler] the elevator clunky puzzle is just there to frustrate you [/spoiler] the last parts of the game i think i will abandon .. as they don't feel fun at all and that is almost from the start of the game.. too sad it is beautiful but it seems that it has so many half baked ideas.. that makes this a not fun experience. In contract quern had some story but the most amazing puzzle mechanics i have seen in a game. The price point is way too high unfortunately .. do yourself a favor and play any of the o…

Great adventure game up until the last few puzzles, then it became absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The pattern matching puzzle by the end is simply impossible due to no feedback and the fact that the solution seems very subjective to personal view of the player. I thing I found 3 separate combinations that looked to me like the exact solution to the puzzle, and yet none of the numbers seemed to match in the end. Still a great game though. Shame about the stool in the demo that ahd been cut out of the full game. I understand it was a tricky and annoying thing to figure out, but still.

Good puzzle game, has it's moments with an obtuse puzzle here or there but generally decent

this is a massive hell yeah if you enjoyed any other first person puzzler like Myst or these devs' previous game Quern. the controls take a second to get used to but the puzzles are extremely satisfying to solve. it can get pretty tough but it also makes for a great multiplayer game where everyone is contributing ideas.

Lots of great puzzles and a few bad ones. Dimhavens style is a slightly weird "3d with pixelated textures" - I feared a bit for details, but looking at documents or important items get a second, more detailed model/texture with more detail. I didn't feel like distracted from any puzzles. The Pixelated overlay I disabled immediately - Why add more visual noise? Our main story and goal is introduced fast and sensible - it gets a little weird towards the end, but lets talk about the important bits first: The Puzzles. I really like the puzzle design for most of the Puzzles. There is something to figure out, there are hints strewn about and you can connect the dots with logic. What makes the game better than average are the twists that the puzzles take. There is an obvious hint on what to do - but you don't get straight away to the solution. It's like a fine print with an additional "...and remember to reverse the sequence!". The difficulty is pretty good - I had to come back another day a few times, but figured it out with a fresh look. We have a camera on hand, the ability to scribble on the photo AND to hold the photo up while looking at something else - it's all around the most …
