This game is a complete delight on all fronts. It is a shining example of "more than a sum of it's parts".

The puzzles themselves are pretty good honestly. Quite a few made me scratch my head wondering how they could be solved. Every area introduces a new mechanic and a new way of interacting with the environments which is always neat. The game is also a bit open ended in that you can choose which puzzles to solve in an area. My one problem with the puzzles is that the difficulty curve is a pretty wild graph where certain puzzles will make your ears blow smoke but the next one you would breeze through.

The visuals are absolutely gorgeous. The world around the signs is vibrant, colorful and beautifully realised. You definitely feel like you're moving through the various places in the game rather than simply being limited to the signs and papers and stickers. The very pause menu itself is made of actual CRT TV screens placed discreetly in various places. You even control the motion of real world objects in a limited fashion affecting the puzzles themselves which gives me the fuzzies every time I trigger them. The music is fantastic and a neat mix of jazz and a melodious orchestral arrangement and is a very gentle accompaniment to the experience

I highly recommend you pick this up if only to appreciate a really well made polished, fantastic little romp
