Been playing this with my spouse and we have loved uncovering so, so much ... this game is DEEP. Well worth what you'll pay, easily 40+ hours and the RNG element does keep things really fresh even as we're figuring things out. Also appreciate how it's not scary or "haunting" or anything of that ilk, hate those type of games ... this is so much more like Myst / Riven but I'd argue far more enjoyable (having played both growing up).

Blue prince is a game that I am of the edge of recommending. It's a game that mixes two genres that have completely different overlook of what a game is, and while it becomes very interesting at first, it eventually dries up and shows the reasons why is not a commonly attempted route on game design. The roguelikes elements make sure you don't get stuck in the same puzzle and move on, this is great at first when there is ton of new things to discover and do, but as you advance through the game the puzzles become more obscure, but also require a lot of randomness just to solve. You can spend hours knowing the solution to a specific task but being unable to get it just because RNG is not with you. Later puzzles become more and more consuming and rare to pull off, not for a lack of with, but for a lack of luck. The start of the game is great, there is sense of discover. But small nuisances, like not having a document log, easy access to books, random pulls, and multiple other grow up as the scale of the puzzles do. I believe that the start of the game is solid enough to be valuable on it's own, but after a while instead of feeling rewarded by cleverness, I end feeling frustrated at RNG, and that's not good for a puzzle game. After a while, and as I kept slowly progressing, I could not in good faith recommend anymore when puzzles become incredible complex and you have an RNG determined chance to get a useful clue, and an RNG gated chance to test it. The progress grinds to a halt, new clues become really obscure to even find in the first place, and most of the time you are fighting RNG to see the correct memo again because you didn't pick it right the first time.

go into this game blind and take your time, it is incredible
