A solid series of puzzle boxes. Strangely felt a little long in the tooth despite being pretty short. I do have a few criticisms, such as on the limited controls and waiting between transitions could be tedious when you're working a puzzle that requires a lot of back and forth. It's quite possible the camera swing takes more time than the action you'll take. Also how much of the game is reduced to just clicking around. MYST was a long long time ago and while this is clearly influenced by it, I don't think it has to succumb to the same problems of inane fiddling. Just a cursor highlight on things that can be interacted with is good enough.
Anyway if they improve on this things in further entries I'll be a lot happier with them.
