Love it!

[h2]One of the best games I ever played[/h2] This game didn't deserve to become the Internet's laughing stock back in 2024. While I understand that most of the criticism was aimed at a popular cliche rather than the game itself, I don't think it gets nearly enough praise. Video games are a form of art, and this stands among the most beautiful and entrancing experiences a person can have. I genuinely hope that, in the future, more people will revisit this game and recognize just how incredible it truly is.

The overall concept is fun, but the execution could be better. About 99% of the puzzles are extremely obvious, though that does make the game a pleasant, relaxing experience after a long day at work. That is, until the final level, where the game suddenly throws its entire laid-back atmosphere out the window. You are given a five-minute timer to rush through a dozen puzzles, rewinding does not reset the clock, and there are no checkpoints. Fail, and you have to start the whole level again. I genuinely fail to understand why anyone thought such a stressful final level belonged in what had been, until that point, a chill exploration game. Hopefully, a future update removes the timer and gives the game a more consistent experience from start to finish. As it stands, the final level leaves a really unpleasant aftertaste.

很不错的游戏，下一个玩超阈限空间了。难度上和传送门差不多？不过解谜步骤一般没有传送门多和复杂。主打利用透视和视错觉来完成关卡，解法比较多。 ps:可能会晕3d，建议把视角拉大一些再开启晕动模式，或者直接用手柄玩也行。最后一关5min过不去可以在设置关掉时间限制，这点比传送门友好

Very beautiful game, the mechanics and art. A small gem with an adorable cat companion. Loved the experience of playing it. If you like puzzle games with a chill vibe, this game is for you.

Excellent game but you have to kill a cat. Yes it's an AI cat, but still a cat. Not marking as spoiler because I would have never played the game if I knew ahead of time.

The game isn't very good at communicating its puzzles, and after the first half it feels like it has very few new ideas. Essentially, the when you get the camera. One puzzle had me solve it by taking two photos of the same battery, even though an earlier level had spent its time teaching the player how the camera worked in a completely different way. My reaction was simply, "Am I actually having fun?" The answer was no. The collectibles are also frustrating because they change randomly between levels with no warning. I spent ages looking for rubber ducks, only to discover I was actually supposed to be collecting fridge magnets instead. The first half of the game is genuinely enjoyable, with beautiful art, creative ideas, and some clever puzzles. Unfortunately, it feels like the developers ran out of ideas halfway through and stopped introducing meaningful new mechanics or challenges. I can't recommend buying it at full price. As for how it won a BAFTA, I'm still scratching my head.
