Mezzanine

Really enjoying the Myst-meets-Stanley-Parable gameplay (more Myst than SP, but a bit of an SP vibe). To me, the best part is the way it both evokes and mocks late 90s tech culture. Definitely some rough edges ... navigation sometimes glitches, and I don't seem to be able to save and reload games, so I'm starting from scratch every time. But still, lots of fun and totally recommended for folks who like puzzle games.

Love the atmosphere of this game. Very intriguing, but not sure how many endings are there, I found two. It did take me a bit of time to figure things out as there are no guides but that was part of the fun I suppose. The game can be a bit glitchy, occasionally freezing/not letting me navigate. Overall I enjoyed it!

Usually I wouldn't be able to sit through a game like Mezzanine, but the [i](somewhat janky)[/i] charm, great art style, and although it has little to do with the game itself and more the fact that it's rather obscure. That hard to get experience of feeling like you have actually figured out the game on your own. It's almost enough to make you feel like you're a kid in the 90s having to uncover what a game has to offer all by yourself. Maybe it's even more esoteric than that, because at least kids in the 90s could buy guides for their games. Here, you'll be hard pressed to even get a response from the literal dedicated helpline [i](Or maybe I was doing something wrong when trying to text it.)[/i]. But even if Mezzanine were more well known, it wouldn't diminish the fact that this game is deeply intriguing. I won't pretend like I grasped the full effect of the story, but I think it's meant to be that way. Being kept in the loop doesn't seem to be included in your employee benefits. While some of it is spelled out to you [i](literally, the game is 50% reading)[/i], what isn't is left for you to fill in the gaps. The actual gameplay is hard to adjust to at first, mainly in terms of navigating around the office, but eventually you get it down and it stops being a problem. The puzzles are the main draw, and fortunately, they are a highlight [i](i.e. they make you feel smart)[/i]. You feel like you're doing real detective work, as every hint and solution is given to you diegetically through the game's world. If I had to level any criticisms at this game it would be two things, one is that the game is rather buggy. Often times some puzzles might end up unsolvable thanks to an item duplicating or disappearing, either requiring you to start a new game, or load a prior save. But even then, sometimes the save system bugs out too, and upon loading a save up, you'll just be given a black screen. My second "criticism" is not really an issue with the game, but something that could be added as a quality of life change. I think an inventory screen would do a lot for this game in terms of helping the player remember what they have on hand. If anything, it would be nice to have a closer look at an item you've found, instead of having to remember, and possibly guess, what the red cylinder you grabbed is for. I more or less wanted to make this review so that I could add another to the handful that exist to show the dev [i](devs? I dunno)[/i] that there are still people fascinated by what they've made. And who are waiting to see what they do next.

You are so lucky that I read alot of books and know what the ♥♥♥♥ lacunae are

2000 yılının arifesinde Multimedia Gulch'un kalbinde geçen psikotronik bir ofis macerası. Yavaşlayıp alışana kadar navigasyon bazen biraz sarsıntılı/sinir bozucu olabiliyor. Oyun aynı zamanda CPU'mun ısınmasına da neden oldu. Oyun motoru tuhaftır ve komut istemi hataları ortaya çıkardığı ve oyunun iç kodlaması hakkında fikir verdiği için oyunun yüklenmesi biraz zaman alır. Mezzanine, tanıdık bir formülü alıp üzerinde büyük yenilikler yaparak kendisini Mystlikes kalabalığından ayırıyor. Myst kadar iyi olmasına ya da onunla karşılaştırılmasına bile gerek yok çünkü işleri kendi yeni yönüne taşıyor. Kesinlikle eşsiz bir oyundur.
