I haven't been able to get past level 3. I have all the pieces in place and ramps, but the last 2 pieces (25 degree) pieces won't click into place in the middle area. I've worked on it for about an hour, looked at other reviews and looked at the screenshots. I tried all the combos I can think of. It shows I have 2 pieces left to place, and 2 empty squares that show green, but will not go. I've been gaming a long time, maybe it's me, but I feel this is a bug. I tried to reach out to Dev, but couldn't find contact info. If someone can reply with a suggestion, I'll change my review. Thanks.
I think it's a great story, no narration, but intuitive, just enough guidance to give you the feeling of solving it on your own. There's queues that come up like music when you are on the right track after completing a sub-area which is nice. It unfolds the mystery of the story nicely. I also liked the time forward and reverse, very nice touch. The biggest complaint I have would be the controls. I'm a veteran gamer and this feels like old school keyboard WASD plus some extras, which was a bit nostalgic and fun. However, the controls don't feel entirely accurate. The different camera angels (seems like only - works, not the + for tilt for some reason), along with the way you are trying to run or move feel slightly off. Not sure how casual players would manage. You'll die plenty of times, but it usually picks up almost right where you left off. If you are willing to have more finger gymnastics rather than story/problem solving, then it's worth checking out. It's a little short but was intriguing and had many creative elements to it.
The game is programmatically stable, well written, has good graphics, sound and music. There is even a walkthrough mode to explore the wilderness independent of the story, which is very relaxing and fun. I don't like combat or violent games, so this was a welcome addition to my library. The game is mainly for "normies". Normies are people still asleep in this Earth 3D dream and believe only what their 5 senses tell them. This game doesn't contain any higher dimensional concepts, awakening or mystical references, ETs, or other supernatural elements. Maybe I'll work on developing a game similar to this but talking about the illusion of the self, the illusion of matter and separation, the journey of the Soul and re-integration and oneness with the world around the player.
