Um... well it's definitely not for everyone. It's a pretty neat little puzzle game, but I wasn't nearly as charmed as some other puzzle games like Tunic or Fez when it gets somewhat esoteric. It does carry with it a feeling of "you're not supposed to find everything, and that's okay!" with a lot of the puzzles being optional, but even without those, puzzles can very often feel less like they're encouraging discovery and more like they're trying to see if they can finally "getcha" and make you give up. It can often feel cruel, and that's maybe the point? It's a masochist's puzzle game, and well: I am a masochist, so I kinda fuck with it.

The last bit of puzzles where there's just actually seizure inducing mechanics can fuck off though.
