It may be a linear point and click story but the story is greast. It's very topical. I didn't agree with the conclusion on my first playthrough, that AI is scary, but I'm hopeful a different playthrough ending will provide a more optimistic view.
I rather enjoy this game, it has a meditative quality to it. The ongoing puzzle is to decrypt an ancient language, by building a dictionary along the way. The movement controls could be better, I nudged the heroine and she kept walking to a different area, but the worldbuilding has me hooked.
I liked the game a lot precisely because I don't know anything about machine learning and I found the links to descriptions of algorithms fascinating and I wondered how representative the puzzle blocks are. It might be a perfect present for young nephews. For older people, a future version might be if the game showed you how to construct a puzzle block out of code. Then proceed to the next layer showing you algorithms built out of those blocks. The current version is probably too simple for those studying computing in the later years of high school, but I think it would be perfect edutainment for non-computing or younger students.
There is a bug near the end of the game, where the villain becomes invulnerable and just stay put. One cannot progress from there.
