Memories Of Loneliness
Just streamed it and I actually really loved this game. At one point, one of the drawings didn’t appear and I had to start over, but not too big of a deal. I really loved the ambient sounds and the jumpscares really got me. At $6 I highly recommend.

Great horror walking sim where you will wonder what happens next. Suspenseful which makes the game interesting. Would be nice to add a weapon, and a few more jumpscares where you can battle against. Otherwise not bad for the price.

Obversion
The game’s difficulty ramps up as you progress through the 28 levels, each of which poses unique challenges. It’s not hard to work through them, though: with mechanics that are easy to pick up on without explanation (except for controls, shown when starting the game), plenty of accessibility features (those being autojump, automove, and the undo/redo buttons) that can make it easy to traverse over obstacles, and a free hint that can be picked up at the start of every level, plenty of help is given for players to work through the rather complex nature of 3D first-person puzzlers. Observation, planning, and cleverness are key in order to reach the end of all of the puzzles made, even more so with the bonus yin-yang collectibles.

Obversion is a complex yet elegant platform puzzler. You can work your way through it without significant struggle or you can take time to ruminate on the puzzles. The difficulty does ramp up through the worlds and you may find yourself with a puzzle that requires more thought than blindly barreling forward.
The music is a special gem. I wouldn’t want to spoil it for prospective players, but what I can say is that it compliments the levels and builds on itself as you progress.
The dev put a lot of thought into movement mechanics and it seems that the puzzles have been mapped out and thoroughly thought through. I found myself stumped in one place or another until I noticed a pattern or subtle hint.

Whisper
It’s an interesting concept, navigating via sound. Quite short but I would be interested to see this game design expanded on.

Disoriented
Definitely a nice puzzle game, probably not worth the full price given the minimalistic/limited experience it offers to the gamer, but still overall good.
The settings screen first of all is awesome - finally we can adjust all the bars related to controls, sensitivity, music and graphics, not something that one can find everywhere these years..
The game offers only 30 levels that have an awesome difficulty progression, though as I wrote above it can be a little downside regarding the potential replayability of the game itself and its duration - hence I suggest you to buy it on discount or in a bundle.

Things that annoyed me:
1. Depending on the level of your zoom, some paths look connected when they’re not, because the delimiting black line or their outline does not show.
2. For a game that still gets updated, I’m surprised I don’t have more options in camera mode. I should be able to move myself while in camera mode with either wasd, or by holding down right click.
3. I don’t see the point of the checkpoint, if I jump down, I get spawned at the beginning of the level, not at my checkpoint. Does it get toggled off if I press it enough times? Atm it works like 1 out of 100. Do I have to hold it down.. if so, put a note in the controls section.

Colortone
Would I recommend the game? Well… no, but not because I don’t like the game. If I’m to be completely honest here, I only found out about the game through a steam coupon, which I find pretty funny that they have a coupon for a 99 cent game that was abandoned years ago. But aside from that I think the game has potential, if it was given the chance. It’s definitely a good start for a version 1 game but it’s not actually good because it’s been on version one for 4 years (if this is read in 2019). Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a good first start game, but it’s not something I’d go out of my way to play.

General Info
I originally picked this up when I heard about it during the Co-Optional Podcast’s releases section when TB mentioned it looked Antichamber-esk. With me being one of the few people who have hundreds of hours in Antichamber (speedrunning/routing), it looked like an obvious game to pick up, and upon buying it (during it’s early access period), noticed it had a “Speedrun” mode button on the main menu, which appealed to me. At the time, it wasn’t a functional mode, and was just a placeholder button. I livestreamed my first play of the early access version, and promptly posted here on the community discussions what my thoughts were (along with some bugs).

Cypher
This is by far the best cryptography game I’ve ever played. If you’re a cryptography/cipher enthusiast, this game should definitely be something you check out. As a fair warning, the game is hard, but in my opinion any good game that takes this topic seriously should be hard, and it makes your successes all the sweeter. To be sure, there are plenty of puzzles here that novices can solve with some effort, but there are far more that require serious thought, investigation, trial and error, and patience. And, sometimes, you’ll just have to be okay with giving up and moving on.

Having enjoyed the Hexcells games, and sharing them with my wife who became quite addicted, I picked up Matthew Brown’s Cypher without thinking twice.
This game is for those who enjoy a challenge, who want to see something different in a puzzle game, and have a large storage tank of patience.
Even the hints in this game only show you the start of understanding how you should try to solve the puzzle. They don’t get you right up next to the solution, as other hints in puzzle games tend to.
I’ve been playing the entire game through on stream with a great group of people and we’ve made it to the Challenge Puzzles, currently 2/12 complete, with all 6 previous rooms at 100%. The benefit of going through cryptograms like this is I’ve learned ASCII, binary, XOR gates, morse, and even basic enigma solving methods. That’s insane. And I’m loving it.

Faraway: Puzzle Escape
I like this kind of games, relaxing game, but….. be aware of a lot of bugs - see discussions… DEVs need to fix this game. Until then, not recommended to buy….
UPDATE: I could not finish the game due to a lot of bugs, I’m stuck on level 18. The game had a 6 months delay to launch…., but well it seems still hard for the DEVs to fix the game, or more worse…. maybe they do not listen at all….
So again DO NOT BUY!
UPDATE 2: two months ahead…… still no fixes!
So again DO NOT BUY!
So again DO NOT BUY!

Great puzzle game, they could’ve added few more levels, but still there’s plenty, plus finding hidden notes and levels. For the love of god, burn down those ladders, lost a year of my life on them, but still i would recommend this game for any puzzle lover.
