This games atmosphere is amazing and I adore the subtle storytelling and narrative.
The puzzles were mostly fun, and I personally do enjoy puzzle games that encourage trial and error, but I found that near the end of the game and sometimes just inbetween other great chapters there were puzzles that were more tedious than anything else, and I looked up a walkthrough for 2 or 3 levels throughout because; the gameplay is only fun when you're thinking of what to do or going through a time sensitive puzzle, when you just have to stand still and think about what you're missing or when pieces of puzzles have long windbacks or are far away from eachother, the game instantly becomes boring. During my playthrough I probably only averaged 20-30 minutes of playing per session because I would get bored/not bothered to keep trying at puzzles over a short amount of time. Sometimes I would return to the game an hour or so later but the point I'm making is that by the last 5-6 chapters I saw finishing the game more as a chore. I wasn't picking up the game because I enjoyed it, I was spending 10-15 minutes a day or so when I was bored in an effort to slowly chip away at it and finish the game just for the sake of finishing it.
While that was an entire paragraph about what I didn't like I still overall enjoyed the game but definitely stopped having as much fun/patience around the last third of the game.
