A clever visual puzzle game where you move around tiles to lead a boy to new places.
GAMEPLAY: It seemed so simple at first. You zoom in and out of each tile until you see a correlation with another, and move them side to side. But it gets much trickier while never feeling random or far-fetched, which makes it really satisfying when you see the solutions.
AUDIOVISUALLY: It’s beautiful. Incredibly clever and artistic puzzles and animations, and the ambient music adds to the experience.
STORY/PRESENTATION: There’s a subtle story going on through the visuals; a gloomy and philosophical one that’s certainly open for discussion and interpretation. One of the better examples of story in gaming I’d say!
It seems like I’m praising every aspect of this game, but the simple fact that I get restless from these kinds of puzzle games stops me from fully enjoying it. It’s still one of the best “interactive experiences” I’ve encountered though, and it’s short enough to get through in one sitting. Recommended!
