I loved the boss fights in this game! Everything else left me a bit cold, but I did feel compelled to finish it, so hats off I guess! The sound design and animation are strikingly tactile. It's a great length (5-6 hours). The puzzle design feels sort of old fashioned and, particularly compared to other game that these devs have worked on, like Inside, the situations around the puzzles are abstract to the point of feeling meaningless. There's no recognizable purpose to any of the mechanisms in the world, and the player character has no motive mentioned. "Inside" also obscured the player character's motive, to wonderful effect by the final act. Here it just feels like a hole.
