Dimhaven - The Lost Source

If you ever want to be actively annoyed by somthing not made by a big publisher, play this - you'll want to smash your head straight against a wall thanks to Dimhaven's juvenile approach to puzzle design. It's ♥♥♥♥ with a golden heart.

Yay, loved it! Long awaited since playing the demo a while ago. Apart from one puzzle I found frustrating and had to look at the hints for (yet even that part was not bad by any means, I was just confused), everything else was awesome, and generally very sensible. No insane moon logic escape room puzzles here. Great variety of different areas, types of puzzles, and general gameplay as well. It's definitely challenging, but not so hard that it becomes boring. Aesthetically this game is beautiful. It's really unique, with like a pixely ps1 crunch to all the textures, but more modern lighting. That, and the retro camera used to record photos can make things a bit hard to read or see once in a while, but it's worth it. I actually like how the game can keep certain posters and text pixelated but others crisp to let you know what you should be paying attention to, and what is just background texture.

Great game and easily one of the hardest puzzle games I’ve played. Some of the difficulty ramping from the early puzzles into the mid/late game felt like it was designed by someone spinning a wheel labeled “easy” and “absolute psychological warfare,” but otherwise, really well done. Clever, satisfying, and occasionally made me question wtf I missed. This scratched an itch I had for old myst and riven. The pacing and how new areas unlock for you truly make this game special. The atmosphere and world creation especially (late game) was unique and memorable. Gave me some obduction and cloudpunk vibes.

very good

Another wonderful experience by the developers of Quern. The puzzles are really well designed and offer a lot of variety, the art, music and atmosphere are all fantastic, and the story is mysterious & interesting. While Quern had a pretty open area to explore, Dimhaven is mostly a linear game, which makes the puzzle a bit simpler and more obvious. The only problem I have with the game is that it doesn't quite deliver on the incredible worldbuilding it portrays. The world is full of mysteries and there are interesting areas everywhere in the distance, but you can only explore a few of them. As great as this game is, it feels like there was a lot more potential than it delivers.

Fun puzzle game - very nice art. Puzzles were pretty difficult at the end, but the hint system was generous

good
