Sebil Engineering disregards nearly every commonly understood principle for good puzzle game design.
It is that exact rejection of understood design principles that makes it so uniquely fun.

Intended solutions are often so wonky and obscure that solving them feels like breaking the game over your knee in an act of defiance.
The resulting emotional arc of each level is great - frustration gradually builds up before giving way to satisfied release as the game buckles beneath you.

A good game, a short game, a silly game, a special game.

There's a world, not far from our own, where this was titled "Resident Evil: Dead Rising".

Dead Rising does to survival with the 360 as Resident Evil did to the PS1 in so many ways.

I did not expect to enjoy this nearly as much as I did. Incredible videogame

Pacific Drive is the only craft-type game I've been able to chill with in the past half-decade.

Gathering resources isn't a slow and boring chore, it's an optimization problem. Blitzing through every zone as fast as possible while snagging supplies as you go feels like mapping a space in a way that's almost like an arena shooter.

The final stretch is a little wonky, and the narrative climax didn't hit for me - a very "wait, that's it? it's over?" sort of ending - but I'm glad I saw it through to the end.

If you enjoy "survival" games at all, you should absolutely take this paranormal station wagon for a spin.
