muy relajante y te hace pensar, es de mis juegos favoritos, incluso lo he trabajado con mis pacientes adolescentes
Шедевральная игра
A true masterpiece. If you love portal or other first person puzzle games, this is a slam dunk purchase.

Gra nie jest trudna, raczej nie intuicyjna i nudna.
Well thought out, challenging puzzles.
Души нет. Сознание - иллюзия.
i wouldn't say the game is underrated, but i would say it is one of the most overlooked BANGERS out there. If youre someone that likes puzzles, thinking, philosophy i highly recommend
My favorite puzzle game very fun full of Easter eggs and secrets that are very fun to find and the story is solid two very deep and philosophical
A truly outstanding philosophical puzzle game. The puzzles are great, but the real strength is the writing, audio logs, and dialogue that explores consciousness, identity, and free will. Seeing both major endings complete the experience into a full meaningful whole.
