I continue my puzzling kick with one that I noped out of several years ago. Was that a good call?
Yes I think so. The puzzles in this game are good, but I wasn't a big fan of the wrapper. There are big level hubs that contain 3-7 puzzles but the area they take up is stupidly large leading to lots of running between puzzles. One of the central mechanics was trying to convince a DOS era computer that you were, in fact, human despite your robot body. I remember being annoyed by all of this in the past, so this time I just straight puzzled. I didn't hardly explore outside of the puzzle rooms and I found it to be a much better experience. I know I missed a lot, but I think a lot of the stuff I missed wasn't enjoyable to me.
Would I recommend this game? Hard to say. Definitely some good puzzles here but I think the wrapping was a bit much. If someone was really into the idea of a singularity/humanity and enjoyed a good puzzle I think I would recommend it, but I think that's a narrow range of people. I might recommend others play like I did, hope the devs wouldn't be mad about that.
