What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The concept is fascinating: you explore Escher-style drawings in all their non-Euclidean glory in order to get keys, avoid danger, and reach the exit door. To match it, the art style is top-notch and the puzzles have a lot of care put into their design. On the other hand, some of the late game puzzles were downright infuriating. In earlier levels, something not working usually meant to try a different idea. For some of the late game puzzles, something not working tended to mean that the idea was correct but the execution was slightly off; the threshold for success felt way too strict at times. To be fair, this was a relatively small percentage of the levels. Overall, I do recommend it for puzzle fans for the interesting concept alone. I struggled to think strategically about these bizarre non-Euclidean environments, but there is a consistent logical framework that was fun to tease out.1 found this helpful

It's like stepping into an Escher painting that's also a puzzle.
very good puzzle game
One of the earlier puzzle games that got me to explore the genre. At its heart this is quite a simple game, mechanically there isn't too much for you to control and it is quite easy to understand the mechanics and proceed with playing it. The real feather in the game's cap is the hand-drawn art, I find myself remembering this game mostly for this where it really knocked it out of the park. Having experienced other puzzle games over the year I can come back and say this is not necessarily the best puzzle game out there but it has a very memorable atmosphere sound and especially art. I have very fond memories of playing it and give it 7/10.
Superb aesthetic and decent puzzles. Will return to do chapter 4.
