Solid (frustrating) puzzler, good story
I really enjoyed this game, as a fan of Myst from the olden times. It has that same spirit, with a good story that keeps you pushing forward and puzzles that do not hold your hand and let you really mess things up if you keep clicking and pressing buttons without knowing what they might do. This is a game where you need to take your time, read everything you find, consider your options before pressing buttons willy-nilly. That said, I clicked furiously and really broke some puzzles before I knew what was happening. Human nature. Example: The sphere with the motorbike at the bottom. Don't click the button until you have an idea what it is for! ***SPOILERS*** There are some flaws. The dependence on the control pads with the Villein tech is a big one. Base-4 is a red herring. These puzzles suck. I hate them and you will too. Games that make you scramble for a real-life pen and paper annoy me in this day and age. Give me some kind of in-game log. Plus, the pixel-hunting to disengage the "connections" in these control pads is inane. Terrible, and should have been way more obvious and less pixel-hunty! That said, I liked the "Gauntlet" maze near the end, it was not that hard. The stupid Base-4 puzzles can go to the abyss, however. This game's biggest flaw is the running back and forth. As the AVGN would say, this is one of those "where TF do I go" kind of games. That's fine, but there should have been some more clues to prevent the player from getting frustrated. CW is a unhelpful jerk. Maybe that was the point? Anyway, I really liked the story, the world(s) and the atmosphere. Worth grabbing on sale.
