The Spectrum Retreat

This game has one of the best narratives of a puzzle game I have ever seen. Every level guarantees new lore and new mechanics to be had. For it being an almost 8 year old game (at the time of this review), it is an underrated gem of a game.

Fine little puzzler, I liked it overall. But the women in your ear starts giving guidance on where to go way too soon and frequently. Lemme look around, relax! Also the last puzzle room was a little annoying because there were no saves inbetween so if you make a silly mistake (or dont notice that's an abyss and DIE) you gotta restart it :') Overall nice tho, and the story was solid too. One room with the hospital bed was... upsetting. Turned the sound off while i was in there :')

You can do the entire 5th floor puzzle and waste all your time if you accidentally do it backwards, locking you in a room. This game overstays its welcome by a longshot. Maybe get it if you can get it for 90% of more of a discount because otherwise this game just is NOT worth it, and jesus, what a slog to get through near the end. I don't even want to finish the game due to being hard-stuck now and having to restart the level if I want to finish. Edited to say: ♥♥♥♥ this game and its lack of compassion for your time. I unlocked the last level and storyline completion with SAM. This does not deserve to be bought.
