About Magnesium_173

Using a branching series of puzzles that are difficult to solve but simple to execute, Magnesium_173 explores a strange set of rules inspired by quantum mechanics. Through the lens of these rules, it seeks to answer a simple question: what makes a choice meaningful?
  • Over 100 puzzles that are challenging due to the underlying ideas. Each puzzle is honed to its simplest form, so the difficulty comes from discovering the consequences of the mechanics rather than the size and complexity of the puzzles.
  • Friendly design that wants you to understand. If you get stuck, each puzzle has a hint to point you in the right direction. Still stuck? There's a step by step solution available to help you get past the mental block.
  • New ideas are constantly introduced, examined and twisted. There are no filler puzzles - each one has something new to say.
  • Original soundtrack by Ian William Craig.
  • Color-blind friendly

I enjoyed this game and had a very good time with some of the causality-ish mechanics that felt like they explored new space from other time clone based puzzle games. I normally don't like games with strict step/turn limits but I think this game used it well and probably wouldn't have worked without that system. Most of the mechanics felt well-explored although I do feel like I was left wanting a little more. My favorite mechanic, entanglement, isn't something I've seen elsewhere and this game made good use of it to create neat puzzles about recording paths undoing those paths and then deleting that path to allow a more efficient solution. Despite this I do think this game has some flaws that limited my experience. The biggest thing is that the game took a while to get to the most interesting mechanics and spent a long time on tutorials (especially tutorials for the UI). I eventually came around to appreciating the UI once I reached entanglement and collapse since the interaction with the undo system is quite nice and collapse/tunnel ultimately does require mouse based interaction. However my initial first hour-or-so impression was slightly annoyed that there was no keyboard based…

I am GENUINELY astonished that this game isn't more popular than it is; the puzzles are so clever and well-crafted, the mechanics are clear yet complex at the same time, it requires a wonderful amount of thought and logical deduction... overall, just an incredible game! I had so many moments of "oh, wow, I feel like a GENIUS now!" and it was such a rewarding, well-made puzzle experience. If you enjoy logic puzzles and trippy time shenanigans, you NEED to check this game out, it's wonderful! (also, the soundtrack is incredible, but I really want the game itself to get more focus... it's such a great puzzle game..!!)

I've only just started it, but I think this game is well worth it for the TRANSCENDENTAL OST alone.

A very unique, well-designed puzzle game that is a little rough around the edges. The UI seems a little overly complicated at first because it requires that you play with a mouse, but once the more complicated mechanics get introduced it makes sense why the UI was done this way. The puzzles aren't terribly hard although I was stumped by a few at first. For a 2D grid-based, turn-based, puzzle game (I won't call this game sokoban because the mechanics are actually interesting), this game really requires you to rethink the way you approach the puzzles. Most puzzles have both a turn limit and a "entity per turn" limit so the trick is to figure out how to solve the puzzles optimally, which sometimes involves redoing previous actions. Overall this is a hidden gem for puzzle lovers. $15 is a little steep for how long it is (took me 8 hours to 100%) but it regularly goes on sale for $1.50.
