A first person puzzle masterpiece. Much better than the first one and I already liked the first one. Highly recommended to puzzle enthusiasts.

It is too quick and imperfect but it is also a one of a kind detective experience and so I would recommend it to anyone who is teetering on the edge of buying it.

Early Access Review
I see a lot of complaints about monetization and some about balance and am shocked how few people call out how insanely mediocre this game is.
This game is Hearthstone with one minor tweak. It is shamelessly unoriginal. The digital card games that hooked large audiences post Heartstone were Gwent, Legends of Runeterra, or Marvel Snap. You know what those games have in common? Almost nothing! Because they are all major shifts from existing card game formulas. They are actually original or at least derivative in small ways and not wholly ripped off gameplay loops. This game will go the way of Elder Scrolls Legends and Fable Fortune and all other shameless Hearthstone clones and die in 2 years tops.

It is short but fun. Good pixel art and a silly scifi story that you will want to see to its end.

Perhaps the best 1 hour puzzle game ever made. $3 well spent.

Excellent fun. Everybody should buy Return of the Obra Dinn and play it. When they inevitably love that and are itching for more, they should buy this.

I've seen enough.

Ultra repetitive jank and then they throw in extremely unfun action sequences. But ultimately I quit just because of poor level design.

There is one puzzle repeated as nauseam in the game: put the blocks / lasers / bridges in the last spot they need to be in, then the 2nd to last, etc until they are in the first spot they need to be in, then execute by going through the puzzle and rewinding things to hit switches in the proper order. Changing how annoying it is to set up this sequence or how many different elements are needed does not make it a more interesting puzzle. It just makes it a longer more tedious puzzle.

Frequently you would only have access to part of a puzzle room at the beginning and can only predict the last couple places the objects will need to be. In these cases, you need to do half a puzzle, realize you didn't place all the objects properly to begin with once you can ACTUALLY see everything, go back and reset and start setting it all up again.

This is made even worse by janky puzzle setups where the physics can easily send an object in the wrong direction and force you to reset the whole puzzle again due to no fault of your own. There was an early puzzle that I had to do no less than 5 times because a block kept bouncing the off the switch. Was this playtested at all?

If you like wasting hours on completely uninteresting puzzles in what is probably the worst Portal ripoff I have ever played, this game is just what the doctor ordered.

Puzzle game masterpiece. Everyone who loves Steven's Sausage Roll or Snakebird will love this.

A pleasant indie version of Pokemon. I think the "Dark Magic" type was lame and the Titans in general were not as fun of bosses as gym leaders but it was otherwise able to capture the magic of Pokemon in a cuite indie package.

I am surprised this doesn't have more buzz. Excellent world building and stories, fun card play, beautiful art. I loved my first run.
