On Your Hands

For starters, this game has a very unique art style. I think it fits well with how it portrays itself as "alien-like", in the end it felt really well put together. One important thing to note: leave brightness on default, lol. You have a flashlight, don't be a dummy like me. Later on I got stuck on a wire puzzle cause brightness was too high to realize the wires turned green when active... so, yeah. As for gameplay, it's a mix of some exploring and of course primarily puzzle solving. The puzzles are pretty much always handled through the game's magic, which is fine because there's several types with different effects, and they nailed it with combining them together in the puzzles. As you go on, things do get harder and you may get stumped a few times. But for me, a lot of those really tough ones felt very satisfying to clear once it finally clicked. You really do need to think what are the limitations of your magic if you want to get through the game, there is a Codex that tells you how magic works but it won't be a dead giveaway as to how you clear puzzles. Except Green magic maybe. Speaking of which... Green magic I have mixed opinions on, it's encountered very late into…

After playing through the game from start to finish, I can definitely say that On Your Hands is a solid puzzle game with horror elements. - The gameplay was good. Puzzles gradually became more complex at a consistent rate, and all the magic was unique and fun to use. I did have a few issues with the 3D platforming (particularly on Map 13), but they didn't affect most of the puzzles. - All of the art was very well done. The environments are fleshed out with an abundance of minor details, levels are uniquely structured and colored, and there's a good amount of environmental storytelling within each level. - I generally enjoyed the writing and world-building. Exposition and details were given at a consistent rate, and I never felt overwhelmed by any of it. - I greatly enjoyed the audio mixing, music, ambiance, voice acting, and effects throughout the whole game. - There were a few bugs and softlocks, but they aren't too bad since the checkpoints are fairly generous and the bugs aren't completely game-breaking. - Accessibility options are a huge plus. Overall, I had a great time playing through this game. The whole dev team clearly put a lot of love into this game, and they shou…

The game gave me a similar feeling to Portal (without the quirky writing) with an alien horror theme. They use the main mechanic in such interesting ways. It's got great music, atmosphere, art, and voice acting. The ending hit too. Can't recommend enough, especially for such a small team. If it's too much, wait for a sale because I'm still thinkin about it a couple years later.

Very good!
