✦ AI summary
Players consistently praise the puzzle design and art style, but are frustrated by sluggish controls that interfere with solving and unintended character movements, along with poorly integrated storytelling that feels disconnected from the gameplay. Opinions on the narrative vary widely—some find it meaningless and a distraction with unskippable cutscenes and made-up language, while others appreciate its artistic attempt, though most agree the story doesn't meaningfully tie into the puzzle mechanics themselves.
If there's a story in here somewhere, I can't imagine ever caring to see the rest of it. I miss Blaseball.5 found this helpful
I want to go back to be frustrated only about not being smart enough to solve the puzzles, I lost count of how many times my character went to the wrong place resetting the whole puzzle for me, how many times it dropped or jumped to somewhere else because someone had the "brilliant" (sarcasm) idea of using the same button (left mouse button) to move the character AND to move the cards, have you forgot that there are more than 2 buttons on a mouse? And don't worry, I tried the other movement options (using WASD and using a controller), it is not much better, you will still be asking yourself "WHY?! The puzzles are excellent, the art is amazing... WHY YOU HAD TO DO THIS?!"2 found this helpful
Positives: Simple puzzles. Fun to play. The game finished too soon for me. Downsides: The story is difficult to follow (although the game works okay even without it). The story could be better tied in to the puzzles themselves.
Puzzles are somewhat interesting, sometimes a bit challenging. But the controls are horrendous. There are unskippable cutscenes that try to convey some kind of story but it's absolutely uninteresting, the characters speak some made up language, and they don't feel even slightly related to the actual game mechanics. Also, everything is excruciatingly slow. Extremely overpriced. Worth maybe 2$ or 3$.
Overall this puzzle game is quite good The puzzles are interesting but the controls are very sluggish and could be better They have tried to implement a story in this game but it just doesn't work That being said, if you like puzzle games i would say give it a try 8/10
A solid little five-ish hour puzzle game with interesting mechanics. I though the story was nice, and not nearly as incomprehensible as other reviews claim. The puzzles themselves can become quite difficult by the end, but it's always rewarding to finally find the answer. The environments look great, the soundtrack is nice, and thematically I thought it was sweet. If you go in expecting an art game with a stylized narrative and good puzzles, you won't be disappointed.
