You'll end up brute forcing your way through this game. Very rarely can you actually work out what to do on your first attempt.

With this in mind, the game is just horribly punishing, not because you go back particularly far, but just because some puzzles have solutions you would only try as a last resort making the game feel unintuitive.

It's a game I want to go back and complete one day, but only because I put in too much effort to not see the ending, im not sure it's because it's actually a good game.
