Pros :
+ fresh take on the roguelite formula, where progression is based on knowledge
+ everything feels intuitive (no tutorial)
+ rewards curiosity and careful observation (especially during the first playthroughs)
+ reaching the main goal once or twice feels fair, rewarding, and well-designed (without overwhelming the player+++++)
+ Relaxing/quiet soundtrack + minimalist visuals
What

With that out of the way, I have a few considerations about it.
First,
its fun for like 4-5 max then it becomes tedious, very unique concept though, just not interesting enough to see it through.

Not sure I've ever been so conflicted about a game! What I can say for sure is that it's a game everyone should try for themselves. In many ways, it's utterly unique and the way its systems slot together is nothing short of genius. Never played anything like it.

I was not expecting much out of this rouge-like puzzle game, but it is definitely my favorite game of the year so far. Even after 20 hours of playtime I am still uncovering completely new parts of the game and am excited to see what else this game has to
Very obtuse and frustrating but a unique and interesting mystery if you can get past that.
So here's the thing. This game is legitimately special in my opinion. But there are some things to keep in mind. Number 1, this game won't be for everyone and that's ok. This is because it can be quite challenging at times. Also because luck is
