Pavilion

Pavilion is a roughly two hour run through a beautiful dreamscape. You use the keyboard or a controller to navigate a floating orb that can manipulate the environment, in order to help a wandering dreamer who walks into areas as you clear them. I enjoyed my time with it. The mechanical inventions are cool, and the entire experience is basically wordless. The major complaint against this game is that it was designed as the first half of an adventure, and still ends on a to be continued screen. Despite the second chapter being scrapped, the store page still mentions it, which is annoying. Please don't go in expecting narrative closure, because you probably will find none. I expect Chapter Two would have been more of the same, but better, and with a definitive ending? I'm mainly still recommending this game as it has low focus on character development, so it comes across to me as a much more solid experience than most unfinished projects. Strong props to the developer for building this around an eye tracking system, nice to see people designing experiences with accessibility in mind.

if you liked monument valley on ios , etherborn on ps4 , you will love it

it reminds me of a japanese puzzle box - it is well crafted in its own way. beware that this seems pretty much dead since 2017 onward, and I could not finish it because I was stuck on a puzzle, looked it up, and for the life of me I could not trigger the proper course of events. still had fun, totally recommend it on sale

Played it not for gameplay, but for the artstyle. I guess, the gameplay here is just for connecting different realms of the dream (or nightmare) that the main character is in, and these realms are pure masterpieces in best traditions of surrealism. Gameplay-wise, it's a puzzle game with different mechanics, made me stuck one or two times, but nothing too complicated. By the end of the chapter the story starts to reveal, but unfortunately, there's no Chapter 2. I used mouse as an input device and had no issues with it. Consider this game a visit to a gallery with a surrealism artist exhibition.

[h1]Feels like being in controversial Pavilion[/h1] What i can say about this game... I really don't know, can i recommend this game to anybody else or not. Depends, definitely, what you are looking for? For chill music, chill gameplay (relatively), and elegant isometric graphics – may be this is a right choice to look into that game further. Otherwise, it's little bit not very great product in many subjects. Sound design is rough to my taste especially in surround field and everything is playing in mono, in locations where we are messing around with blocks audio mix starts to sound probably distorted because of moving chunky cubes sound. Some puzzles can be broken by main hero, because he decides to not move at all, and, of course, clunky puzzling when pixels decide everything: will you go to next level or not. And the main issue personally for me – 2nd chapter has never been released. But the main pro – visuals. Like this style! So, as result we get 6 luminescent crystals out of 10

Very good, but too short (3 hrs for me). Unfortunately chapter was 2 never released. Pity.
