The Swapper

I did play this game at first a few months ago and I wanted to play it again but for some reason it kicks me out as I enter the game so now it is not playable. It doesn't give me an error message or anything. I would like to finish this game, but for now it is unplayable.

tl;dr pretentious + amateur 3/10 I bought it when it was new and played it once a little on the same day. Now I re-evaluated it. While it does get you to think a little philosophically, I nonetheless came to the conclusion, that I will never touch it again. Because... This has highly amateurish game design. They don't bother establishing rules one at a time and then reinforce them slowly and progressively. Instead they throw everything in at the very start. There is no feeling of cohesiveness or that a specific area has a specific mechanical theme like in a "real" game. There is no difficulty curve. After 10 minutes it becomes really challenging and then stays that way. Gathering orbs feels like a chore. Shouldn't happend this often. The singular one mechanic this game is based around is not implemented organically and the puzzle rooms feel arbitrary and unbelievably gamey. They are also finicky. Puzzle games where you need to press two buttons in quick succession repeatedly should die out. The game feel is terrible. Basically no sound. Everything feels floaty. Next to no feedback for player actions. The options menu is in dire need of a brightness slider for this game is extremely dark. And most of the text is unreadable because of the color choice. I don't give a damn about anything there. The overall theme does not get explored artistically. Instead some walls rub the big questions under your nose when you pass them by and they also slow you down every time. This entire thing is underdeveloped and pretentious.

Apesar de ser um jogo de 10 anos atras, ele e um jogo de enigmas (puzzes) muito interessante e um tanto reflexivo, tem uma historia pequena porem não enrola e da um contexto as suas acoes. Joguei em inglês então entendi a historia mais pelo alto, mas e um bom Jogo

I love this game! I played it years ago on PS4 multiple times, maybe 4 or 5 through the whole story. It's extremely well-written and suspenseful with complicated puzzles that leave you questioning your sanity, just like any good puzzle game (imo). It is genuinely one of my favorite games I've ever discovered. Edit: They've got it working on pc!! It still works better with a controller and is a little tricky if you're trying to play with keyboard controls. I've missed this game so much, so glad the developers came back to fix the issues with pc. 12/10 :)))

鼠标都控制不了，我连游戏都进不去。这么基本的bug都不肯修，你游戏优秀到不玩就能被震撼？我体验得到么？不会做游戏别做，你美术音乐顶你做做动画得了。

A short puzzle game with a cool, mysterious atmosphere. I enjoy the puzzle mechanics, nothing ground-breaking but cool concept. Later puzzles were a bit of a struggle for me and had to look some things up, but others are probably much more clever than I am. Good game to pick up on a sale and play over a rainy weekend.
