Firmament

I've played almost all of Cyan World's games, and I love them all, even this one! I don't have much to say, I think it's a little overpriced for what you get. The game is quite a bit more linear than most Cyan Worlds titles, I don't think I was ever seriously mentally taxed during the playthrough but it was still enjoyable. The story is really good with a satisfying ending in my opinion. Because of this though it's quite short as you don't spend a lot of time thinking about solutions to puzzles. Would still recommend this game, but grab it on sale, it's definately worth playing!!!

The story could've been better communicated and more towards the middle of the game. I found it hard to understand it all. And more variation in the puzzles would've been great, too. But the last puzzle and the ending were amazing. I really got the feels when the credits rolled. Overall I can recommend this one.

The game was good, I enjoyed it and can recommend it. I do still prefer the way Myst and Riven were made. Those games were real mind benders whereas this game was more intuitive and maybe a little too obvious to solve.

Pretty graphics, but I have no idea what the flip I am supposed to be doing. I tried two different worlds and got nowhere in either. COMPLETED GAME UPDATE: Well... I can't fully "not recommend" this. After slogging through the puzzles I think it's mostly okay. I actually only ended up having to look up two things to complete the game, and one of them was because the environmental design did not make it look like you could do a certain thing... I think that could easily be fixed. The other thing was because one puzzle was not clear on what the mechanics were and I thought they were one thing, but then when I looked it up it turned out it was something different, but what I thought it was and what it actually was were very mathematically similar, so that could have used some better design as well. Mostly the game is okay, but there is a lot of walking back and forth and it is somewhat unintuitive. Ultimately compared to other Cyan games I've played it's way easier than Obduction, and much shorter, and I think that is alright because I think a game like this should be less than 10 hours, but even though it took me 13 hours to complete this one it didn't overstay it's welcome.

Fine piece of art developed by Cyan, creators of Myst. Challenging puzzles and with an enticing story. Some path bugs, but they're minor inconveniences

I've been emotionally destroyed. 5/5 stars, no notes.

IOT's an immersive in world puzzle game that goes beyond Myst in terms of putting together the environment., puzzles, and backstory. Fairly straight forward controls with a few things you have to figure out, such as manipulating the main control device used for almost everything. It's an incredibly rich environment to wander through and does not lose enjoyment during replays. A couple of things, such as how to bring the Camelus into position are tricky, and you have to approach some things in a not-always-obvious sequence. Overall incredibly creative, great puzzles (a few of which most people will probably have to cheat on). and a really satisfying game experience. I think a sequel is unlikely but I would play it in a heartbeat.
