Fugaz

Very interesting puzzle adventure. Creative, mysterious and fair. Nearly an indie homerun; although the story becomes [spoiler] more mundane than expected and seemingly depressing if I read it right. It was a late night! (And some low res graphics were difficult to make out.)[/spoiler] Still, I can recommend it for the thought provoking puzzles. Well crafted.

Pretty good puzzle game. A bit of a metroidvania but without combat. Most importantly, puzzles are diverse and often interesting. However. There is a timer. After 7 minutes you're back at the entrance, all puzzle reset. Your map stays, and it's a good map that has all hints you found and all solutions to puzzles you solved. But if you want to go back to a place, and you do go back to places a lot, you need to solve all puzzles on the way again and again, and again. This timer is used in a couple of puzzles, but I'd just remove those puzzles along with the unnecessary time limit. For this price I'd rather play a 3.5 hour long (to 100%) game that stays fresh for the whole duration than a 5 hour long game with 1.5 hours of tedious re-solving puzzles and going back to places you didn't manage to explore completely because the time ended. The game itself is good anyway, but frankly, I wouldn't even play it if I knew about this beforehand. Also, the story is some deep stuff about depression or something, but there's not much of it, so you can enjoy the game even if you don't care. And from my experience it's harder to understand than any puzzle the game has. Also #2, some proofreading by a native English speaker wouldn't hurt. [spoiler]Objectively:[/spoiler] 7.7/10 (+1 if you don't mind the timer)
