This is a game that really needs a "meh" option for reviewing. It introduces unique puzzle mechanics as you progress, but it felt like most of them overstayed their welcome (i.e. the game feels padded for length/the puzzle elements weren't varied in their use enough to present unique challenges each time you use them). The difficulty of the base game is also quite easy with rare exception. The optional objectives were challenging, and I did need a guide to help me get all of them, but that goes to show that this game isn't designed all that great. The difficulty goes stright from easy-ish for required objectives to "I have no clue and I've looked all over this map 10 times" for the optional ones.

The game does pose some very interesting questions about humanity in how it presents its narrative, but I don't think the time and effort you have to put into the game to get through the puzzles was worth it. I've played a lot of puzzle games, and this is one of them that I definitely *won't* be coming back to ever again.
