I'm kind of late to this indie bandwagon, no? It's strange to play a game where I feel I know more about it's creator (or at least I think I do) due to the variety of stories/events/controversies that have plagued him than I do about the game itself. I mean, I knew what the "hook" was in terms of the mechanic, but not much else. So far it's been interesting and, perhaps surprisingly, a lot more accesible than I thought it would be. I had the idea that the game would quickly get to a point where the puzzles were simply to obfuscated to be any fun (for me). So far that hasn't been the case - if anything it's been the opposite. However, what the game doesn't have in difficulty, it is making up for in secret stuff. I feel like there's a lot more to the game than I've been able to piece together and I'm reluctant at this point to go online and see what I can find. I'm kind of enjoying just randomly exploring the world. Not sure if I'll get incredibly lost at some point, but we'll see.
