Faraway: Jungle Escape

it's alright

Faraway: Jungle Escape is a lot better (and easier) than the other 2 Faraway games imo! The first two were just ports of the Mobile version to PC HOWEVER! I enjoyed all of them! This one is just my favorite! 10/10

[h3] ACHIEVEMENTS DON'T WORK !!! [/h3] This has been reported on the forum multiple times, crickets from the devs. There are other issues also. Time to move on ...

Got the entire series because I love puzzle games/escape room games and even though the levels are enjoyable as they aren't timed and the puzzles aren't too difficult, I was really disappointed with how buggy some of the levels are across the series. The achievements also don't work on this game, which is another disappointment.

Faraway: Jungle Escape, developed by Pine Studio and published by Snapbreak, is a relaxing first-person puzzle adventure that invites players to explore mysterious jungle ruins filled with clever mechanisms and ancient secrets. It belongs to a long-running series of Faraway games, each themed around a different environment, but this entry focuses on lush greenery, forgotten temples, and an atmosphere of quiet curiosity. At its heart, the game is about observation and problem-solving rather than narrative complexity or mechanical innovation. It embraces a minimalist philosophy that favors meditative exploration over intensity, and this approach works in its favor when played as a calm, thoughtful escape rather than a grand adventure. The structure of Faraway: Jungle Escape is simple but satisfying. Players move through a sequence of temple levels, each self-contained and built around a collection of environmental puzzles. Every stage begins with a sense of discovery: stone doors to open, levers to pull, runes to align, and switches to activate. Each solved puzzle leads to another layer of the temple opening up, eventually revealing a path forward. The game’s logic is easy to grasp,…

As much as I like Pine Studio's other games, this entry is really buggy and was not fully tested. Achievements do not trigger on the latest build which requires users to pull a previous build in order to get them to trigger (if you're into that kind of thing). I was able to get out of bounds in a few spots and one puzzle flipped me upside down when trying to go back into it. I do like the puzzles and the vision, but some of the quality issues really bring it down for me.
