About Particulars
Particulars is a game with a unique combination of arcade-action and puzzle gameplay, set in the mysterious world of subatomic particles.
Taking control of a single quark, you must negotiate the fundamental forces of the universe. Other particles will push and pull at you - you'll always be on the brink of losing control and being dragged towards annihilation!
Woven through the game is the story of Alison, a young physicist struggling to outrun her troubled past. Her journey through the subatomic world is drenched in memories (both good and bad), and will ultimately lead her to some powerful revelations.

Looking at the playtimes of other reviews, it's obvious that there is no way this gameplay could support the kind of ~9 hour playtimes I am seeing on most of the reviews. I got tired of it in less than an hour. Especially since I hit a mission that was unsolvable due to a particle that needed to be exploded wandering off and evaporating. The games solution to these kind of problems is a "skip mission" button, which is good I guess? I played it a bit more, and it does get more interesting, but the interface is not great for conveying the evolution of the particles and such, plus I'm just kind of dumb, so it's hard for me to figure out what to do. Oftentimes a mission just randomly finishes and I'm not sure what I did to meet the requirements.
Interesting gameplay. I think I learned something
if you love quantum physics (or atleast know a bit about quarks) and love lore, this is the game to play!
Игра "Particulars" – это захватывающее путешествие в микромир частиц, где игроку предстоит управлять потоками энергии и манипулировать материей. Игровой процесс увлекает своей простотой освоения и глубоким стратегическим потенциалом. Задания разнообразны и требуют от игрока не только логического мышления, но и умения быстро адаптироваться к изменяющимся условиям. Визуальное оформление минималистично, но при этом завораживает: плавные переходы цветов и динамичное взаимодействие частиц создают гипнотический эффект. Несмотря на кажущуюся абстрактность, игра обладает четкой системой прогрессии, позволяющей постепенно открывать новые возможности и углубляться в изучение механик. Местами может показаться, что не хватает более подробного обучения, однако, экспериментируя, игрок быстро находит оптимальные стратегии. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально подходит к атмосфере игры, создавая расслабляющий, но в то же время напряженный фон. В целом, "Particulars" – это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет оригинальную и интеллектуальную головоломку, способную затянуть на долгие часы. Рекомендую!
Particulars doesn't deserve the negative reviews. It's great for the value (it's even great for how much I paid for it in 2015) and works well on Steam Deck. And you don't need to understand particle physics to play it, all of those reviews just need to git good* As a game, I'd rate it 70-75/100? Great idea, below average execution. The game couldn't decide if it was a puzzle game or physics toy (it should have picked physics toy). The logic of the puzzles isn't hard, but the execution of the answers can be. 3-4 chapters would be easy, and then a level takes 20+ tries to beat because of timing. Other levels are super easy to bypass. The story is basically non-existant. It's some comic panels per chapter, and a quote each level. How you interpret it might be awesome or lackluster. I think the visuals are the weakest part of the game. What exists has a nice style, but mechancially too much information relies on telling colors apart. Antimatter and matter particles (black and white), electromagnetic force (Red - Purple - Blue gradient), Weak Force (Purple and Blue), and Strong Force (Red, Green, Blue, White) are all in the area around particles and aren't well distinguished.
