Worth playing for the mechanics if they interest you. That being said, most of the puzzles aren't great, and for a two hour experience, the price is a bit steep, even when on sale for £8.

Most of the game is a walking simulator. It does a lot of really cool tricks, and there are quite a few great moments, but for large portions of the game (especially later on) I was wishing there was a sprint key. You end up walking down repetitive hallways, holding W and clicking on every object you walk past, waiting for something to happen. Even with the game being as short as it is, I felt the gimmick starting to wear down - and I love these kind of visual tricks.

I found that most of the 'puzzles' were pretty disappointing. In most cases, the difficulty is just determined by how hidden the elements of the puzzle are. Some of them are very obvious, others are just 'look around and click for a few minutes until you find the one interactable object/hidden doorway'. There are also some puzzles that are a bit more involved/abstract than this - a few of them are really well done, but others didn't really land for me, feeling quite unsatisfying and unfair.

People make comparisons to The Stanley Parable and Portal; it almost certainly takes inspiration from both, but I don't think it comes close to either of those games. I still enjoyed it overall, but it could've been a lot better.
