Steam review snapshots
The puzzles can be awesome, or sometimes baffling, the voice work is not great, but fits the vibe, and the atmosphere is…They switched the clues and puzzle solutions around, and no one has put together a walkthrough to cover it.I just didn't feel as immersed in the environments despite the increased freedom to explore.Everything just looks and feels a little wonky (and occasionally buggy).Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure filtered by single-player.
