I am not sure I can critique this game. It is (to me) mind boggling but SO much fun. I am so lost and found while playing it. There is no help what-so-ever..you are on your own figuring out what to do next and also where to use your inventory. It is definitely not an easy game and I am sure some will not like it..but I do.

I am not sure I can critique this game. It is (to me) mind boggling but SO much fun. I am so lost and found while playing it. There is no help what-so-ever..you are on your own figuring out what to do next and also where to use your inventory. It is definitely not an easy game and I am sure some will not like it..but I do. I like puzzles and mysteries so this is a buy for me but I do believe that I will have a hard time figuring everything out as I consider myself an intermediate player. In a way it reminds me of the game Coma but much harder. There is not dialogue but there are noises that let you know something happened somewhere and you need to figure out what and where. Try the demo and see what you think. I think mind boggling! Show less

I recommend this game!

If you have played 'The Tiny Bang Story' you will know what to expect from this game. No instruction, you have to experiment and observe closely.

The 'flashing hand' mentioned is only at the very beginning to show you how to interract with things, after that you are on your own!

If you have played 'The Tiny Bang Story' you will know what to expect from this game. No instruction, you have to experiment and observe closely.

The 'flashing hand' mentioned is only at the very beginning to show you how to interract with things, after that you are on your own!

The clues are subtle, they require thinking and imagination. If you like that sort of thing is is brilliant, if not, don't bother.

The graphics are rather basic, not even as cute and interesting as 'The Tiny Bang Story', but that is part of the game, since you need to have a good sense of direction and there are indications if you are alert and observant.

Obviously no hidden object piles, just thinking and doing. Also, you don't need to 'pick things up' just click on them, and click where you want to use them and the action is done.

A great little game if you like that kind of reasoning. Show less

I recommend this game!

Take notes! Be prepared for a mind blowing, intriguing adventure. No, it's not like any other game we have seen on this site in a very long time. (if ever)
There IS a story. You will pick up papers along the way that tell the story and help you along. There are subtle hints in the way things are drawn. (look at the walls, the floor, everything) Color matters. Random symbols matter. Take notes, make a map. Take it one step at a time.
If you give it a chance and you enjoy solving puzzles, you are going to really like this game. It is an excellent example of the types of games that make us smarter when we take the time to play them.
This game deserves the 5 stars. I hope we get more from the developer, Igor Krutov. From the Ukraine; He is an independent game developer with real talent.
There is a walkthrough out there. Show less

There are not always instructions. You have to observe and try things out. To give this game a bad rating simply because you do not understand or like this type of game is sort of like a vegetarian giving a bad rating to a recipe simply because it contains meat. Give it a try. Show less

Usually I wait to post a review until I've played a game in its entirety, but just wanted to get the jump on the inevitable group of reviews complaining that this game lacks HOS or a story line, neither of which is relevant. From just the demo alone, I can already tell this one is going to pose a decent challenge, which I happen to like. It's so rare to find true puzzle games in among the abundance of Hidden Object games; maybe that's because there is a smaller market for them, or it's just a lot easier to design games that rely on fancy graphics and a far more simple format. I any case, I anticipate having a fun and challenging time with this game and would like the developers to know their efforts will be appreciated.

To all those who enjoy a challenge, I would say certainly do give the demo a go...you won't be disappointed! Show less

This is no ordinary cookie cutter HOPA. Very original, but reminiscent of games like Machinarium, Full Pipe, and Samorost. You are in a minimalist world with little color, very basic surroundings, and no clue what to do next. NO handholding - YAY!

This is no ordinary cookie cutter HOPA. Very original, but reminiscent of games like Machinarium, Full Pipe, and Samorost. You are in a minimalist world with little color, very basic surroundings, and no clue what to do next. NO handholding - YAY!

I appreciate the lush worlds of the old adventure games, like the Myst games, but I can also enjoy these weird indie games that wrack your brain as well. Not too far into this yet, but I am definitely hooked.

There is a story, but it is found along the way, sort of like Myst. You are alone, and, as far as I can tell, you can't die. Inventory is simple, just click to pick up, and click to use. The items stay active until you click again.

The soundtrack is eerie and fits the environment. Kind of an ambient tonal thing, not really "music". I like it. There are also some clever plays on words. I cracked up at "Unobtainium".

This is definitely not going to be for everyone, but puzzle and point-and-click adventure lovers are going to love it. It's hard and will be a long game. Now, excuse me while I get back to "Abandoned". Show less

I recommend this game!

I do not write many reviews and I PLAY lots of games from this site. This is by far one of the best games ever. If you like no hints, clues, challenging puzzles, this is the game for you. It is up there with Safecracker and other straight adventure games. I am a fan and with great anticipation wait for the sequel.

I recommend this game!
