There's a part in the game where you are on a beautiful, peaceful floating island. I appreciate that unlike most puzzle games, the very hardest puzzles are challenges not to execute with more pieces, but to break existing puzzles to send them into a state that shouldn't be possible. Also disliked the final puzzles to unlock the doors/floors, I'm really not that great at solving those, I just gave up at a certain point and looked at the solution in a walkthrough, in my opinion it wasn't needed to have this kind of puzzle when your game mechanic already is to solve puzzles. ![]() I finished it in about 21-22 hours, by the end I was already tired. However, I think the game could be way shorter. But it was pretty good, it's definitely great to see games talking about those subjects. The game kinda left me depressed a little bit, existentialist stuff can do that to me. What got me into the game though was it's story, it always felt so mysterious and writing is fantastic, I felt so connected with the Alexandra character, her visions about the main subject of the game sounded pretty honest and smart, I share some of the fears and insecurity that she has. The puzzles were smart and only some of them were a but frustrating for me, I guess I'm not really that good with "puzzlers", had to look for walkthrough on some of later levels. I finished the game last week and it was pretty amazing, one of the best of 2014 really - probably my favorite PC title of the year. To be honest, I didn't have any problem with the levels, never got lost or couldn't find where to go. The levels have signs which indicate the pieces in it, and they are marked/crossed when you get the pieces, so you can see if you already got all the sigils. ![]()
