A cozy game that's actually cozy for real.
The visuals are so unique, it's like walking through a hazy dream. It's complemented by simple but effective audio and good background music. You can get through all of the game's achievements in less than an hour if you really want to, but if you want to take your time to soak in the environment, explore for secrets, or fiddle with different interactions and items, you can do that too. It's a game that invites you to chill out and take things slow, and it's really good at it.
Also, you can pet a cat, and there's a Halloween mode, so that's two big bonuses for me.
My only complaint is that in some areas, the came seems to force you to look in certain directions for no reason and it disoriented me a few times, but other than that, there's nothing so bad as to dampen the overall experience.

I'll start with the positives. The general idea is very good: a 3D puzzle game in which you need to look at a cube from multiple dimensions in order to figure out the solution. And in the early levels, it works great! It's complemented by relaxing music and a good, clear, consistent visual style.
But the innovation and charm wears down as you progress to the later levels. It gradually becomes less about figuring out a solution and more of "click everything until something works". Often, I've accidentally stumbled into a puzzle's solution instead of solving it, or progress pretty far into a puzzle only to realize that moves made earlier had rendered the puzzle unsolvable and that I'd need to start it over again. Neither of these are good feelings; one because I was robbed of the "eureka" moment that makes great puzzle games so satisfying, and the other because I realize I wasted my time. And while the game's music is generally fine, there's only ONE music track in the whole game. The longer you play, the more irritating it gets, especially when you're struggling to figure out a solution to a complex puzzle.
As nice as the idea is, the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Fun, quick, imaginative little game. Some parts can seem overwhelming or impossible, but everything's doable, and completing a puzzle or level is really satisfying. Plus there's a neat option for speedrunning, if that's your thing. Through its visual cues and forgiving structure, it never got so difficult or frustrating that I gave up on it. That said, the game can be beaten in less than two hours, so if you only feel like going through it once, its regular price can seem a bit steep. But overall, I enjoyed my time with it!
