Fugaz

Pretty short, quite sweet. Doesn't have the depth of some longer paced puzzle games, at least as far as I could tell - there's possibly some post game that I don't have any leads on at the moment that I may come back to later. As a spoiler-free summary, it's kind of knowledge-checkpoint the game. It's fun to stumble across abilities you get hints about early, and it's generally a fun mechanic. A few hints and mechanics were a little obtuse, but, I figured them out anyways without any outside help and still finished rather quickly. Most did feel pretty intuitive, thankfully. Music was also pleasant, not much else to add there. I enjoyed my time with this game.

This was fun little experience. Played it all in one sitting and felt very satisfied by the end. Not the most complex game in its genre, but had multiple satisfying puzzles. I even had to take some notes on pen and paper a couple times, which I always love in a puzzle game. It also had a nice (albeit tragic) story to piece together. I think its very worth the asking price! DONT FORGET TO PLAY THE DEMO! It isn't necessary to complete the full game, but it is actually a completely different set of puzzles. I believe this was done so it wouldn't spoil anything in the main game. Its literally just more of the game for free, so don't pass it up!

I really liked this game! Usually I make fun of Steam for recommending everything under the sun as 'similar to Outer Wilds,' but I actually saw the similarities this time. Great little puzzle game that struck a fantastic balance on thinky puzzles without frustrating the player. Happily 100%ed.

I have reached the credits and I highly recommend this if you like games that don't treat you like you're stupid and let you explore around at your own pace. The vibes are great.

¿Quieres 4h de un Outer Wild redux bien resultón? Pues compra Fugaz y déjate embelesar por sus puzzles. Es simplemente arrollador que por lo que vale un menú kebab puedas tener un buen ratazo de puzzles con un game design comedido. Es sin duda un ejercicio bestial en lo que a diseñar un "metroidbrainia" se refiere. Encima totalmente jugable en gallego, ¿Quién da más por menos?

Fugaz es una joya. Un juego de puzles narrativo (o knowledge game) que, partiendo de una mecánica simple y un tipo de puzle muy concreto, saca el máximo jugo de sus pocos elementos. Una variedad sorprendente de puzles, la mayoría de los cuales interesantes y satisfactorios, un diseño de niveles casi ejemplar, una ambientación y estética únicas y una narrativa críptica pero estimulante. Un ejemplo perfecto de diseño por sustracción, con unas limitaciones autoimpuestas muy claras y prescindiendo de todo lo que sobra, potenciando la experiencia. No es perfecto; algún puzle (los de mover cajas, básicamente) se siente como un añadido innecesario, alguna pista podría estar un poco más clara y los ciclos temporales pueden ser relativamente engorrosos de gestionar pero el resto lo hace tan bien que sus problemas se quedan en mera anécdota.

if you have a couple of hours of time, liked oneshot and enjoyed the music puzzles in zelda games play this

Good riddle/puzzle game that reminds me a little bit of Animal well in the way it progresses. Each puzzle can be solved with knowledge that you can find somewhere else on the map. I’m glad I found this little gem ! I love the vibe and Aria of truth is my favorite to play.

A short, but well thought-out puzzle game with a really nice atmosphere! Fugaz felt a bit like a pocket-sized metroidbrainia, which was far from unwelcome to me. Count ~5 hours to finish it. Strongest element are the riddles, most of which I found really fun to solve! Certain puzzles can be figured out intuitively and have you find their hints way after being solved, but it's a common occurrence with riddle-based games of this nature, so I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Narrative elements are not the center point compared to the puzzle aspect, but its integration within the map and npcs felt organic, and I really digged the ambience and music of the game. I discovered Fugaz through its demo, and I really appreciated the effort made so that the demo doesn't spoil any of the riddles from the finished game. If you're curious but not convinced yet, go check it out! It will give you a good impression of what the final game will be like, and maybe convince you to play it too? Overall: if you enjoy metroidbrainias but are looking for a shorter, simpler experience, this game fits the bill nicely. Definitely recommend!
