I'm about 40 puzzles in and I'm really enjoying it so far! The videos may look disorienting but it's fine when you're playing. The mechanics seem simple enough at first but there's so much hidden complexity the deeper you go and the more you learn. Each puzzle is short and usually revolves around pulling off one trick. This does NOT mean it's simple or easy, as sometimes it can be tricky to set up and most puzzles look impossible at first glance. Once you get it you'll feel like a genius. This definitely isn't a game for casual players, especially if you go for the optional puzzles that ramp up the difficulty. I like how the hint system that gives a simple version of the puzzle. It doesn't give away the puzzle and most times it was something I already knew, I just didn't know how to pull it off. The hub worlds are also cool, I like how they're larger puzzles. They hide a lot of secrets too and I'm excited to unravel some of the game's larger mysteries.
I've only been playing for 45 minutes, and I'm already in love.

One of the most original 3D blocks thinky game I have ever played. Excellently crafted puzzles, the mechanics are simple and yet there is so much you can do with them and how they combine with each other. The level go from easy to very challenging but always the solutions make sense or teaches you another tool for the future.
4/4: These mind-bending puzzles are a masterclass in creative design.

Really good so far.
Пока не ясно, какое у игры второе дно, но из того, что я успел наиграть, могу сказать вот что. Визуально всё очень приятно, камерой крутить можно (это то, что в трейлерах не показано). Также игра нормально вводит в механики, и, опять же, проблема трейлера в том, что в нём головоломки выглядят сильно перемудрёными. К счастью, начало очень лёгкое. Цена кажется немного завышенной для кз рынка. Дальше отзыв будет дополняться.
Really excellent 3D-spatial-puzzle game. Makes the most of its mechanics and has a really smooth difficulty curve, and even has a unique snap-to-axis mouse control setup (I love when games don't just use "standard" controls)! Best first-person puzzle game I've played in a very long time

Early review (6 hours in, 25% done) to say that this is a good puzzle game. If you like good puzzle games, you'll like this. I was a bit unsure how I'd take to the 3D-environment-and-gravity-based puzzles, but I took to it very quickly, as the game guides you through its mechanica very well. Very good hint system as well. I've been stumped on a few puzzles for a good thirty minutes at least, but so far haven't had to consult any external guides. Seems like this one goes pretty deep, too. Excited to see how far I get before it busts my brain!
Cool puzzle game. Has a handful of mechanics that it does a *lot* with. Lots of discovered mechanics and secrets hidden in plain sight, which the game does a pretty good job of revealing entirely within the in-game material. Some of the later challenges are pretty brutally hard until you find the specific pattern you needed, at which point you tend to feel pretty dumb. That said, the community discussions + guides at the time of writing will generally let you find the solutions to what you're struggling with. Overall, it's a lot of fun.
