First, the puzzles are brilliant, with the ability to swap between four clones of yourself making a very intriguing and versatile game mechanic, with new ways to use your clones with every puzzle. The music and sound design is some of the best I have ever seen in a puzzle game and the visual style and presentation were spot on. The story is EXTREMELY thought-provoking, and while it takes a while to actually get a semblance of what the hell is going on, it is a great use of storytelling and I suggest getting all of the data logs to supplement that. I also suggest playing with subtitles, as the only gripe I have with this game would be the sometimes muddled voices, hidden under the background ambience and music, as well as radio-ish effects. Overall, The Swapper is an amazing puzzle game that took me about 6 hours, all of which were mind-bending, intelligent, and really well-done.
