Puzzles with a twist....
I just finished the game and while I was amazed with most levels especially the last ones I did not enjoy very much - mostly because of the mechanics and the bugs I experienced later (though saving and loading fixed these). You control a character and you try to reach the exit of each level. While doing so you will have to push some levers, turn some wheels and simply try to figure out what you'll have to do to reach the exit. Trying to figure out what the actual puzzle even is reminded me much of Myst. After finding out what to do the solution often is not that hard. The special twist here is that you have to use the abilities of your Golem companion and these do change every few levels so you'll need to adjust the way you are solving the puzzles the game throws at you every now and then. In most cases those Golem updates are really helpful and fun but there is especially one level (L8) were you'll have to walk a lot to find the correct way and while the path finding routines are not optimal also your Golem is not the fastest one. Keep in mind that there's a fast forward function (pressing space)! The implementation of the last ability of the Golem - move rocks - sounds fun but I found myself often fighting with the physics engine the game uses here to an extreme and don't even mention the automatic zoom while I try to zoom out and the game decides for me to zoom in after a while. The Story is not special at all so don't expect too much in this regard. Also there's no lore to find. This is first and foremost a puzzle game and you should not expect much more. The part "Decipher the tower's cryptic pictographs to find clues to its ancient builders and the origins of the mysterious golem." listed under features on the gamecard is simply misleading. If you are interested because of the puzzles or the artstyle however I can recommend this game despite the flaws in the mechanics in the last three levels. I enjoyed my 10 hours trip with the Golem.
