Very interesting puzzle game with a lot of potential. The story was very short but interesting. would have loved to see more story and maybe more levels with new mechanics but still it was a nice experience. I'm interested in seeing what will be the next game from this studio.

[h2]I would give this a "neutral" if I could[/h2] It was ok. Unique puzzle ideas. Get it on sale if you are looking for a mild-ish first person puzzler. The puzzles boosted in complexity fairly well, though towards the end I noticed I wasn't getting that "aha!" moment like in other games like this, I was just barreling through; I think that is because there were only 2.5 puzzle mechanisms to work with. The story... Honestly listening to that guy talk all the time as you work through the facility didn't add much to the "feel" after a while; the rest is told via random audio logs and I guess the brief tidbits looking around. You can pretty much figure out where the story is going to go after the first few rooms and starting to have exposition dumped on you via your "guide." Didn't overstay its welcome with a short run time, which I appreciated. Subjective complaint: The Portal references were... way too direct. It's ok if you do stuff once, maybe twice but there were way too many, and the way some of it was conveyed, it undermined the intent drastically.

Solid game, I enjoyed my time with it. I found the puzzles mostly comfortably engaging, but chose to look up a few hints online for a handful of puzzles I was stumped on.

Short and sweet Portal-inspired puzzler with a fairly unique game mechanic.
