Steam review snapshots
There isn't a story or anything in the game, unless it's hidden and I couldn't find it, it's just a straight out…The replay value is raised quite a lot by challenging yourself to beat each level as fast as possible.TTP is immersed in a story which drives and motivates the player (much like Myst or Portal) with its mystery and philosophical…It has large, beautiful environments that provide enough to explore and add to the experience.Why it fits
