Enjoyed it but the game felt like it was about 20 puzzles too long. The last stretch of puzzles feel like a rehash with no real nuance or variance to necessitate it. Other than that it's a decent puzzle game with good story and presentation.
a good little exploration of philosophy with one of my favorite subjects to philosophize aobut - AI!
what does it mean to be alive, truly? to be a person, to be capable of free thought and will - and what does it mean when you're not quite sure if you are or not?
it's not particularly deep philosophy, but it is fun and engaging, especially with the role of MLA in the whole thing. Framing the whole game also as a mild religion allegory is also very fun and helps to contrast a lot of the themes and ideas with each other, and more forces the player to think about how they respond and think of things, much like with how to solve the puzzles.
I really liked the puzzles a lot, there was a fun and deceptive simplicity to them (i'm really fucking dumb btw so i did have to look up guides a few times for a few puzzles) but i never truly felt frustrated to a fault but more frustrated to want to figure it out. a good balance that was struck! i also think that the variety and how everything was implemented throughout the game was really effective and kept the puzzles engaging and refreshing.
my only note really is that the ending(s) feels anticlimactic for whatever reason? it was a fun little puzzle for the main ending, but i just remember feeling a little unsatisfied by the end. that could very well just be a me thing, though.
good game! would highly recommend!
