tried to drag it out as long as i could bc i knew i'd love it so much but ended up finishing the whole thing instead 😭
i kind of wish i had finished before they changed the ending, because i would have liked to see what that was! i just took too long i guess :') but i loved the puzzles and i'm excited to try doors~!
Pretty nice, satisfying tactile manipulation of puzzle boxes. It has like 25 different boxes, I think, depending on what you count as a box. Sticks to what you're looking for from the game.
The puzzles are usually more just figuring out what you're trying to do, only a couple of them are really puzzles you have to think about.
Probably not worth 15 bucks, but kind of a nice relaxing use of time.

Spin-off of the doors: lost fragments
Not bad, much shorter than the previous one but just as enjoyable.
The only problem I have had is that a bug got me stuck in a puzzle that I needed to continue but restarting the game solved it.
It's entertaining but it seemed very short and had a very anticlimactic ending.
The story doesn't hook you much, but you continue because you want to know what happens.
I really liked the design of the boxes and their themes

Satisfaisant et sentiment de complétion parfaitement exécuté, encore un "The Room" like qui as parfaitement compris ce qu'on attendait d'un jeu de puzzle en 3D.
Boxes is a very solid Room-like game with a decent number of short, self-contained puzzles and a fairly vague overarching plot. I think some of the visual effects could use a 2nd pass and the ending is rather abrupt with none of the payoff that I was hoping for.
Otherwise I think that Boxes is decently balanced. There's a steady skill curve (although the game is never difficult) and the hint system simply shows you where to look and lets you get along with playing the game. A bunch of different cultural themes and time periods are explored in the game's style with none of it looking too out-of-place.
