Maquette has a very unique concept for a puzzle game that I wish would have been capitalized on more. The narrative that it tells is great and I love the visual metaphors that the game uses to accent the story of two characters falling in love and the aftermath that plays out. It's a very bittersweet game but one I enjoyed nonetheless from a narrative and visual perspective. However, in terms of gameplay I feel that the puzzles could have been fleshed out a bit more. This is a very short game even on a first playthrough, which left me feeling ultimately disappointed once I realized it was over because I was hoping to get more out of the puzzle-solving aspect.

Basically, if you're playing this game for the story you'll probably enjoy it, but if you're looking for an invigorating puzzle game that challenges you, then you might not get into it as much.
