Cool, but not worth full price
This game is literally a piece of art. It isn't "useful", it costs way more than what most people would be willing to pay for it, but it sure looks pretty. This is essentially a puzzle game that deals with perspective. As the game says, perception is reality: if you pick something up and hold it next to your face, it looks big. But when you let it go, it really has become "big" - perception becomes reality. It is very clever and will confuse, astound and surprise you a few times. The developers really nailed that aspect. But the novelty wears off quickly. This trick is like, 90% of the game, so it quickly becomes obvious that the developers ran out of ideas some time after the first or second level. Puzzles start becoming less and less interesting. Toward the end, it feels like a chore - it is no longer fun. But before you know it, it is over and you sort of go like "that's it?" and feel kinda cheated because that first part? That was amazing. It feels like a "demo" of sorts with a really bad story. None of the mechanics are really explored to what I consider to be "full potential". Puzzles never rise above the level of "novelty". As a game, it feels kinda half-baked. Aside from the story, there is a challenge mode which is basically the story mode but with "complete this part within a certain limit of moves" kind of thing, so nothing really exciting. There is also, surprisingly, a multiplayer mode, but it is an afterthought - it's great that it is there, but it won't hold your attention for long (it can be enjoyed solo). There is also a "beta" map editor which lets you create some small-ish levels with a rather unintuitive interface. So, if I was judging this objectively, as a "game", this isn't a good game - it is short, potential is not fulfilled, modes other than story mode are an afterthought - the list goes on and on. But as an one-off "experience"? Or as "art"? It is definitely 5 stars. I'm giving it a 4 because anything lower would be too harsh.
