TRACE Definitive Edition

THE GAME IS SOOO GOOOOOD! Took me 2 hours and 26 minuets to finish, and about 9000 clicks ( I click like I'm ♥♥♥♥♥ up) The everything about this game, the ambient noise, the graphics, the sounds, the point and click, everything makes it so special. I felt so immersed in the game at all times. The puzzles were all connected and though they we're too complex, they all took a good amount of thought and when you got it, no matter how long it took for it to finally click, it felt like an "a ha!" moment. Sometimes things did get confusing but, honestly, to sit with the confusion and just rummage through your thoughts, compile the information, and find a solution is a skill that is really necessary and that is what I would suggest for people to do instead of searching solutions up. That being said I do have to admit that I used youtube for like three things because of my lack of penitence. If buying a piece by piece puzzle in real life is justified at like $20 ( idk how much those things cost lmao) this game is for sure worth $10. Then again, you can just go on cool math games and play it for free like I used to do in my Spanish class.

Very challenging!!! The only thing I suggest is to add the subtitles for the piano puzzle because I am deaf and that puzzle seems to require for a person to hear the music and then solve the puzzle. I had to look up on the walkthrough on "Twinkle Star" song for the piano. Overall, this game is CHAMP!!!

Finished in about 3 hours. 6500 clicks. On Linux. Not once did i think that a solution was unfair or stupid. Navigation is pretty intuitive. World seems very touchable and feels pretty realistic as it follows physical rules. It is not very hard, as in you have to try to combine everything with everything or make up rules out of clues. But still a challenge. I looked up 2 things: Once i thought i was trapped in a 'moon room' (still not sure if i was), and one other time it was very unnecessary.

I had a great time playing TRACE Definitive Edition! This is a lovingly crafted point‑and‑click escape puzzle game, a full remaster of the original web release. What I loved most: -Clever puzzles – The challenges are genuinely engaging and there’s a real “aha!” feeling when everything clicks. Some of the trickier puzzles definitely had me thinking hard. -Beautiful visuals & atmosphere – The updated graphics and environments really bring the world to life compared to the original web version, and the attention to detail adds to the immersion. What could improve: -Optional hint system – Because a few puzzles can be tricky without walkthroughs, I’d love to see an optional hint button in future updates so players can get a nudge if they need it without spoiling anything. -More story elements – Leading up to the launch, the devs released short web games/videos that expanded on the storyline. I almost wish some of that narrative had been included in the game itself to give a deeper look into the lore. Overall, I’d love to see more story elements added in the future Overall, TRACE Definitive Edition is a delightful escape/puzzle game that’s well worth your time if you enjoy methodical, thoughtful challenges with character and style.

I love their escape room games and I love TRACE specifically. Not only did they remaster my favorite game, they also changed the puzzles so that it is different from the original. I love it so much and can't wait to try speedrunning it. Thank you Color Bomb! I don't know how to show it, but I did manage to find a glitch. So a bit of a SPOILER, but basically... If you leave the bathroom without using the scissors, they will stay with you throughout the journey. However, when I took the key off of the seahorse's tail, The seahorse MOVED THE SCISSORS OUT OF THE DRAWER! And so the scissors were stuck on my screen for the rest of the playthrough. Which is actually kinda funny since it meant I got to take them with me all the way to the end. If I could show screenshots, I would. Don't worry though ColorBomb, it didn't stop me from playing and it was actually really funny having it happen.

An interesting escape room type of game with a simple yet enjoyable environment. In retrospect, none of the puzzles in this are particularly complex but it didn't seem the case whilst I was playing the game. Here and there you'll likely scratch your head a fair bit over a puzzle, but once you figure it out it's like "oh snap, that makes sense now". Took me about 5 hours of leisurely play to get through it.

What I loved: 1. The gadgets to use are very imaginative, with a rope traveling robot, motorized seahorse, and various bits of paraphernalia to decide how to use. 2. The rooms are laid out nicely in an intuitive way to navigate through them. What I did not like: 1. After the 1st room, the puzzles are largely unintuitive with little to no hint given on what to do...for instance, you collect 8 stars and are given a grid puzzle with no explanation on how to place them. The same goes for the math puzzle where you are thrown a bunch of foreign symbols that mean nothing. I had to rely heavily on walkthroughs to get through much of the last half of the game. 2. This game should be configured as a co-op format, as several heads working together would be much more fun. I love escape rooms and have done many...real and virtual and this one just gets a "meh" from me.

best game ever would recommend
