    This game is absolutely going to become a series, and I strongly request that you give this game an honest chance. If you plan on playing the game yourself, you should know that this episode contains no major spoilers and is safe to watch! Episode 2 will come out next week, so you will have time to play ahead of me.

      Don’t know how far you are right now, but to you and any who play this game, if you come across a room or puzzle and are completely stumped don’t deliberate on it too long. As you explore other areas you will get permanent upgrades that will allow you to solve seemingly impossible puzzles.
      I have been eyeing this game since Tyler first played it years ago and played it day one of release. It’s very fun and challenging, but there is no handholding late into the game in explaining new mechanics and it can be super frustrating trying to solve a puzzle only to later realize you needed a powerup from elsewhere to do it. Similar to Animal Well in that sense, though in this game it’s not as obvious sometimes that the puzzle is impossible, since there are many tough puzzles you have access to early on, being open-world

    I saw your original video about a week ago and immediately went to look up the game only to find it came out super soon. From that point I was eagerly awaiting it. I picked it up day 1 and have since beat it, it's a very satisfying experience. I have noticed that people sometimes overlook it's open nature and get stuck banging their head against a puzzle they can't solve yet. I did it too. So my tip to anyone playing is to step away from a puzzle you get stuck on to explore some more.

It just came out and it has a demo, its also one of those types of games that doesn't tell you everything at the start, it gives you a manual for the basics but the rest you have to learn.
    It isnt much of a puzzle game, but it seems to need quite a bit of strategy required

    I find it really interesting how there are many different solutions to the same puzzle. I decided to buy the game and play it for a bit before watching the video, to make sure it wouldn't be a spoiler. And Tyler found some very interesting solutions compared to mine, which were more complicated but also solved the puzzle more directly. Brilliant puzzle design, IMO.
