I feel bad not recommending a game that's free that the dev clearly cared about, but even for 2017 this kinda sucks and i don't think it is worth your time. both then and now have examples of this for free done much better. the droning (in a bad way) basic repetitive sad sack piano tracks make the whole thing feel like z grade victorian poems, and its clearly trying to add weight and atmosphere to a game that has...

this game is good. it has a pretty mysterious and slow developing story and it all makes sense at the very end when it all comes together. i recomend you read every single letter on the ground because obviously they help with the puzzles but they contribute to the story.

This game is a blast, I wish it was longer!! It has an amazing soundtrack as well. The puzzles it consisted of were absolutely innovative and awesome!! They were just difficult enough to make me have to finish them, I really enjoy puzzles like that. They did kind of annoy me because you really have to think a few of them through, but over all super fun!! Extremely well made game!!! If you have an hour or less of...

Puzzles They are what make a great walking simulator, they are the back ground to zelda games, they are the integral parts to every point & click adventure. Minesweeper, Zork, chess, D&D. The background of most games, are puzzles. But what makes good puzzles? Certainly someone can have hard puzzles and still have fun puzzles right? Yet here we are, with some of the worst call backs to point and clicks that nobody...

This is a very good puzzle game, you need enough need patience and time to keep trying and failing. I recommend it because it brings me certain stimulation and challenge. If you like puzzle games, I think this game is worth trying and it's free. -------------------------------------------------- Manual achievement: 0/0

Ok first person game mixing some relatively easy platforming and essentially "figure out the right combination to this lock from the nearby clues" puzzles. Puzzles were merely OK. Nothing really creative - just look around to find the clues. Game could benefit from increased movement speed (at least when running) and an invert-mouse option. Also clicking on interactive objects (cursor turns into a magnifying glass)...

Overview: 'About Elise' is a first person puzzle game about a girl named well... Elise who had been abducted and experimented on by a company called 'Kiminster Labs'. You play as the cliched role of her father who goes out in hopes to rescue her from the sinister organization. Throughout his journey, he runs into strange puzzles and places that in all honesty don't really make sense. That however doesn't take away...

It's sad to see an indie dev with great vision falling short in the basics. At first, I was baffled that the game had more than mixed, the controls were weird, movement horribly implemented, the mouse isn't locked to the screen when you have dual/triple monitors, and interactions... it blows me away the dev released the game with nearly broken interactions when interactive objects are the core mechanic of the...

About Elise is a short (about 30-45 minutes) and fun little puzzle game with an ending that isn't really expected. You definitely want to pick up and read all of the little notes for the story. A couple of the puzzles will take a minute to understand but they're not too bad at all. Despite the length I do recommend it.

Honestly a waste of time. I appreciate all the hard work put into it. and the puzzles aren't half bad. But the story is just bad. All of it we get from notes dropped in hallways. We get no in-universe explanation for why we go through mild puzzles. and the big twist at the end is so very tired. It's not creative in premise. we're a man trying to rescue a daughter. Again. And I mean, it is just useless manpain. The...
