i'll be honest i completely forgot i played this game until i saw it in my steam commons folder
i actually do remember what the game is but ig it just didn't really stick with me man
it kind of reminds me of games like monument valley or maybe more accurately mekorama, with the whole turning of the puzzle environment thing to get things to line up exactly right so that the boundaries between each face of the cube blurs

i just played through a bit of it again and i remember why i didn't really enjoy it
the first play through is fun, forgiving moments of frustration where you just cant imagine how to accomplish something, but the game wants to incentivize repeated playthroughs by a "medal" (achievement) system (and a secret ending)
and its really boring!
because ultimately you're just repeating the same things you did before but keeping a slightly better eye out for things you missed
which maybe is fine for other games but it is just
REALLY boring to do in this game
it's calmness absolutely works against it for this
the other thing is some achievements have you do certain actions and if you miss your chance you have to basically loop back through the entire game because the game only has autosaves, no manual saving or restarting
this is also REALLY boring and also frustrating!
i would suggest that you play the game once or twice or however many times you want, then when you get tired of it just look up a 100% playthrough to see the things you missed
alternatively just play through the game with a guide so you don't miss anything (then you only need to play through like 2-3 times) (also i think i remember from my own playthrough that there really arent any good guides out there that arent video guides or super spoilery)
i dont NOT recommend this game
