Ok, here's the truth about this game. I am struggling to avoid voting it down, because the concept of a Puzzle game where I felt like I HAD to stop and look something up after 3 hours on a puzzle, makes me feel like it should get voted down.

HOWEVER, with the exclusion of: 1 puzzle (that was solvable, and I even knew I was looking at the clue, but it just was too abstract), 1 puzzle (that was an unsolvable red herring), and a math system that I COULD have learned, but ultimately decided wasn't worth the time it would take of my life, everything else in the game was beautifully put together.

Some puzzles were quite difficult. But ultimately, all of them presented a challenge that I felt was 'fair'.

Thematically, I feel like I personally enjoyed the game a lot. I thought the story was immersive, and after completing the game at exactly 20.1 hours... I rushed to Google to delve more into any bits I missed.

I played Myst when I was 9-10 and probably didn't appreciate it as much as I should have at that age. At 33, I very much appreciated this game.

Recommended.

PS. I recommend Googling 'Obduction unsolvable puzzle'. You may feel like you are cheating yourself as I did, but in retrospect, I genuinely wish I had those two hours of my life back. It really stopped the flow of the game and story for me.
