A wonderful, mysterious experience
Ether One is an engaging, dreamlike adventure game, set inside the abandoned town of Pinwheel. Soothing painterly art (a deliberate choice as you'll discover) captures the serene but lonely atmosphere perfectly. As a 'Restorer,' you are actually exploring the mind of a patient suffering from dementia. What information you do collect is rarely obtuse, and tells you just enough without stooping to exposition, fitting with the theme of the game. This gameplay reminds me most of titles like Myst, as you explore abandoned areas, attempting to rebuild what has been damaged . There's an underlying logic to every puzzle, and each takes considerable thought to solve. Puzzles require items and information from multiple areas, as well as a fair bit of logical reasoning. You use items to solve puzzles, and each can been examined from all sides. Determining which object is useful (many are junk) and finding its function is another challenge. Pen and paper is highly recommended to keep track of everything. Not understanding the British terms for some objects has tripped me up a few times, so make sure to fully examine each object and its name. You can always warp back to an area that functions as a little home/retreat, where you can store items and some important documents From what I gather, you can actually progress through the game without solving any puzzles, but if you're going to do that, I think it's missing the point of the experience.
