  OK... first off, if you hate puzzles (like me) this isn't your typical puzzle platformer. I think it's important you know this in case that tag throws you off. Yes, this game is nothing but puzzles, but they're done in such a unique and clever way... that I never got frustrated, overwhelmed or bored with them. Now... if you're looking for difficult puzzles... this game is light in that area. I didn't have to think much to solve them. However; despite that... they're still a blast. STORY: Is amazing. Great dialogue, the premise is interesting, and the characters (even the "bad" guys) have their own fun personalities that are very likable. I haven't met a single character that I've disliked. While the game does give a disclaimer at the beginning about how it contains violence, grief, and death... it's still done in a less morbid way. It's not overly violent or bloody... and the game does well to balance the "happy" universes from the "depressing." If darker themes get you down... there are a lot of bright, colorful, and humorous moments, as well, to help break up that monotony. I'd even say the "happier" moments are more prominent than the darker. TIME MANIPULATION: This is the part that's really interesting and what got me hooked. Each world you visit has a less savory alternate universe. Traveling back and forth with the press of a button is really fun. Not just because of the unique puzzles they incorporate with this feature... but just to see the details on each map. They did a fantastic job making the alternate universes match with subtle (and sometimes drastic) differences. Everything is placed so well, and there are things to discover in each universe per level. PUZZLE PLATFORMER: I tend to HATE puzzle games. I see the word "puzzle" as a tag... and I immediately skip that title. I'm not great at solving them and tend to take longer than most players. I just don't have the patience and prefer action platformers. However; this game had a free demo, so I figured... why not, and I wasn't disappointed. Yes, this game is filled with puzzles... and there's no action or combat, but the puzzles are light, fun, and each level adds new mechanics that keeps them fresh and interesting. Plus... the game does a great job breaking them up with exploration, story, and secrets. MUSIC: OK, so the music is great. It sounds good and fits every map and theme. However; the part I find extremely impressive is how they incorporated it into the multiverses and traveling back and forth. Each level has two universes you can bounce between. The music is similar but has minor differences that helps match the unique theme of each universe. It's played on the same track, so when you go to the other... it changes slightly but continues, on a continuous loop. While many might not pay much attention to this... I noticed it right away and was really impressed with it. MINOR DETAILS: While this isn't important to many... it does require time and effort from the developers, so I wanted to give a shout out to this category. This game is full of minor details that really brings the game and characters to life. The devs took time to give each character different animations and sprites to help display various emotions during cut scenes. The main character, for example... when pulling a switch will fall over and have to stand back up. If you walk up to a ledge, he balances on one foot, if you stop suddenly and turn around... he scoots along with a little sound effect... while this isn't overly important... it's still a lot of extra work and detail the devs chose to put into their game, and I really respect them for that! A lot of LOVE went into this project! OVERALL: That's it... I wanted to write this review because I think it's important for those that dislike puzzles, like me, to not let that sway your decision. Despite that... I somehow loved every moment of this game! If you're still unsure... try the free demo. I guarantee you'll buy the game after you do :-)

  The story is good, but they are some big flaws. The big one would be the fact that you can't skip the dialogue. There's also another flaw once you reach the chapter 8 stage. At the log 8 device there's a huge elevator with a mechanism nearby. I repeat do not press that mechanism. If you press it and make it go all the way down, make sure you move it back up. If it stays down and you leave that area, you won't be able to complete chapter 8 at all. I'm now stuck at this point and I can't do anything about it It's hard to explain without visuals. Edit: Now I can't even replay the other stages. I can only play stage 8 and of course I'm stuck there. Just can't recommend this game, I'm sure the ending is marvelous, too bad I'll never see it. Another Edit: This game won't even uninstall right. When I uninstall and reinstall it automatically teleports me to stage 8. I'm basically trapped in a weird video game limbo. Final Edit: I basically had to delete my cloud save, then uninstall the game again in order to start at the very beginning. So I'm playing this game twice just to see the ending. I can't possibly recommend this game but hopefully nobody else goes through what I went through Final, Final Edit: The game is a roller coaster of emotions, especially if you get softlocked but overall the story pushes this game to a recommend even with the issues.I finally beat the game today and I loved what I saw. Anyway, hopefully nobody else goes through what I went through but just a heads up, there's a possibility of getting softlocked in this game and potentially restarting the game. I know my situation might of been rare but regardless I made a tutorial on getting out of being softlocked using sav files. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrXyyK6x7WE

  I played the demo and was captivated by the story and the funny dialogs. Breaking the 4th wall at the end of the demo won me over. Even though I found the puzzles rather slow and boring, I bought the game. The game remains fun for a while, but later becomes more serious and dark, which I liked. Although the 4th wall is never broken again. The puzzles, however, continue to be slow and boring. In the end, I was disappointed with the last two chapters and the big reveal, which wasn't really conclusive to me. Maybe it's the German translation, because some words were probably not translated appropriately. Also, some dialogues are longer than three lines and don't fit in the text box, which bothers me a lot. There are also some punctuation errors like missing spaces and double commas. I would recommend the game for its overall story and humor, but not for the ending or puzzles.

  I really wanted to like this game. The premise seemed interesting and I love puzzle platformers, so at first this game seemed right up my alley. But there was so much tedious and unnecessary dialogue which takes up over half of the game. I frequently found myself wishing I could JUST PLAY THE GAME instead of constantly skipping past text bubbles. If the dialogue was actually entertaining it might have improved the experience a little, but I found that most of it felt like a writer who was trying way too hard to be witty but missing the mark. In my opinion, it had a great concept which ended up getting ruined by poor execution.

  Fun puzzle platformer with puzzles that aren't too too easy but not too obvious - makes for some nice casual gameplay. The pixel art and animations are done very well. There is a tat too much dialogue to my taste, and unfortunately you can't skip any of it. The trigger warning at the start of the game is also a bit over the top.

  All around fun game to play, but I am confused why the devs would put an obvious "Speed Running Mode" in the Settings - then not offer the ability to skip the cut scenes by default. How are you supposed to train yourself in speed running techniques, if you have to skip a bunch of dialog on every attempt?

  This game is a resounding... meh. Not good or bad, if Steam had a 'neutral' rating I would have used that. The puzzles are decent, the pixel art is good, the story is... not so good. There is some serious tonal clash happening in this game. It wants to be silly and funny, but also morbid and serious. Now a funny game can tell a serious story, mixing absurdity and seriousness into a good story, but this game doesn't succeed in doing that. I think it is trying to say something about mental health also, but it doesn't do it well at all. The characters are a quirky and colorful, but lack charm for the most part. The tonal clash plays a large role in preventing most characters from ever becoming likable. Now, when the game is being silly then the characters, for the most part, work. When it tries to be serious it becomes nonsensical, and not in the funny way, rather in the awkward way. A mild-but-not-really spoiler to show what I mean; there is plenty of slapstick cartoonish violence peppered throughout the game, but then a character straight up dies from it! and its a big, sad deal! Overall, the game is best when it is being silly and lighthearted, but falls flat trying to be serious. The puzzles are decent, though I feel that they could have leaned into the 'multiverse' aspect a bit more. Replaying to 100% the achievements was a slog. Some characters are likable... when the game's not trying to be serious. Solid 'meh' game, wouldn't recommend it, but wouldn't dissuade playing it either.

  OK the story is decent, with some great comedic moments and a few cool dark touches early on, but the actual puzzles & gameplay are glacially slow and tedious to play, and the dialogue becomes absolute waffle during the final chapter. A shame.

  This game not only makes you think about what you are doing but it will also make you feel something as you play it.
