Go down the rabbit hole. Do it.

Void Stranger was a blast to play last year. A friend and I got in a voice call and collectively lost our god damn mind for a week straight trying to figure out all the puzzles.

If you do play this, grab a friend, and go in completely blind. Don't look up anything if you get stuck, you shouldn't need it.

8/10 would lose my god damn mind again.

Spoilers ahead:

A couple of the deeper lore puzzles are a bit bullshit (the snake one especially felt bad imo) but otherwise it was amazing from start to finish.

I didn't vibe with the true ending of the game admittedly. I thought they were going somewhere else but it ended up being a callback to another game by the same developers. Cool, but was really hoping for a big payoff at the end and it didn't really hit.

The times spent asking "wait is that a hint? Is this obscure thing a part of the bigger picture? NO WAY DUDE, IT IS?" is a vibe I don't think I'll ever get to experience again. Thanks for that System Erasure!

I got filtered by the snake brand puzzle and had to look the answer up. I understood that all the different floors with the tail on the sides were pieces to get together, but dunno, my brains couldn't connect it like it was supposed to, great puzzle idea but disappointing in the end.

Yeah I had photos of every single part of that puzzle in a god damn ms paint window and still couldn't figure out how they pieced together. I ended up cheating on that one, admittedly.
