Locked In Mind

I give a thumbs up because I like the relaxing puzzles in the game and the atmosphere in the levels, but please I deg you FIX all the bugs, because now after I put the lighter somewhere and I need it later to light the candle I CANT pick it up again and its really anoying to have bugs that just will lock you from finishing the level.

The game underwent many MANY revisions and updates before it became what it is right now. The first time I picked it up I gave up after half an hour because I was bored out of my mind. Right now it's pretty fun, though! I wish there was a cohesive story line throughout the whole thing and maybe a secret level (there's a Hotel level but you can't access that even after completing the whole game). The puzzles are fair, but I'm more of a story and narrative person. So, right now I can only give the game a solid 6.5/10. For the price, I very much recommend.

Apart from the first level, the game is actually decent. Level 1 should NOT have been called "easy", and it's not even about your intelligence. Some items just literally CANNOT be seen unless you either know where it is exactly, raise the brightness level (no pun intended), or be happy-go-lucky and just arbitrarily find it. The rest of the game though is literally based on common sense and logic. Beautifully done! Really enjoyed this game, and for the price, you just honestly can't go wrong. You love puzzle games? Get this, and don't be afraid to check online for "where things are" in level 1.

Nice game.

I love a good exploration-puzzle to chill out to, and this scratched that itch. I love the lack of time pressure or annoying sounds that would have stressed me out. Plenty of solves made so much sense, you just have to explore thoroughly and remember what you've seen. Sometimes you might need to try a couple of iterations, but as long as there is no possibility of too many iterations, it makes sense for some trial and error. The lighting can definitely be better balanced. I turned up the brightness because I hate missing crucial information just because it's too damn dark. Darkness is not a puzzle. It's unfortunately not color-blind friendly at all, and I would absolutely not say it's "perfect for all skill levels". Surely some people are bored by this, and some are confused. I'd say it's "perfect game for expanding your puzzle-experiences" or something like that. It feels unfinished here and there. Some items seem to lead to literally nothing. [spoiler]For example in the Theater-level, you find an arbitrary "7" on a note. I can't find what it's for and I made it out without knowing it.[/spoiler] My only real gripe- The Doctor's office is the only terrible one for me tho. Math equations aren't puzzles. Not to mention, when you have literally implemented the hints function, the "hint" for a math equation should NOT just be: "Do it.". Math is not a puzzle, you either understand math, or you don't. You either learned how to calculate mass, or you didn't. If I missed the poster in the room that describes how to calculate this, make it more obvious. A puzzle is something you can figure out on the spot, or, can figure out with clues. You cannot figure out how to calculate mass on the spot, not if you've never done it, not without clues. It was also slightly glitchy. I meant to temporarily put a cube down on the weight-bench but couldn't get it again, so I had to restart. Not a bad game, just unfinished and in need of another perspective or two.

Very nice and relaxing game. I really enjoyed solving the puzzles! The theatre level was extremely fun!

I have no idea if I bought this or not. It was sitting in my library and I was in the mood for an escape room. I don't recommend it. The rooms are really dark and muddy and I was constantly left with the feeling I was missing things. Doing something can change things in entirely different areas than where you're looking, leaving you to wander aimlessly wondering what changed. There's a moderate amount of trial and error gameplay involved in figuring out what lock a code belongs to. The set piece puzzles are all pretty simple but the game frequently runs on small quantities of moon logic.
