Inkesis

[h1] Truly awesome puzzle experience. Push huge blocks making path, aligning them require some thinking. Two type of blocks: blue which can be controlled by telekinesis, and orange which can be moved only when standing on them. Gameplay is short but 100% worth your time. Visuals are nicely made with colossal looking sceneries. Music is good. Must be played before death otherwise your life is worth nothing more than bread crumbles. [/h1]

I would give this game a positive review if not for the constant camera motion making me feel motion sick. There's a bunch of lovely little puzzles and art in this game that I can barely enjoy. I'm willing to change this review to a positive if an option for reduced camera motion is added.

Inkesis is a really interesting puzzle adventure that I enjoyed mainly because it turns the environment itself into my main tool. I play as Ink, a mysterious being exploring the forgotten Library of Arga while collecting knowledge and trying to uncover its secrets. I liked the idea immediately because the library is not just a place to walk through. Almost everything around me can become part of the puzzle. The main mechanic involves manipulating structures in the environment. Blue chunks can be selected from a distance, while orange chunks require me to stand on them before I can move them. I enjoyed learning how these two types of objects interact because the puzzles become much more interesting once I stop thinking of the environment as scenery and start treating it like a collection of movable tools. Combat is handled in a similarly unusual way. I do not rely on a traditional weapon because the structures around me are my main means of fighting. I can move objects into enemies or use them to escape when things become too dangerous. I liked this because it keeps the puzzle and action systems connected instead of making combat feel like a completely separate mechanic. The myst…

good for a short game. feels like a prologue. performance meh - 20w on legion go 45fps

Feels like a good tech demo for portable consoles. Has potential to be bigger than it is honestly.

Not playable with mouse/keyboard.
