The core mechanic of the game is pretty cool. You move elements of a puzzle around to shine light onto other parts to activate them which gives you more parts to move until you eventually light up whatever the goal piece is. I do, generally, like that idea but I'm not sure it's strong enough to build an entire game around (even a game as short as this one). A handful of the puzzles I feel like I solved on accident by just moving things around. And a few other puzzles felt way too finicky, where I'd have to make very small and precise movements to just barely get a sliver of light onto the goal.

The writing in the game is okay. A story about some kind of underground bunker with a 'weird' religion in a post-apoc wasteland. I honestly stopped reading most of it after the second trial because it's all kinda mediocre and there's kind of a lot of it.
