Has anyone here tried this game or heard about it? [Trailer here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAVh4_wnOIw), although I don’t think it really gives you a sense of the gameplay which is very very puzzle-based.

I’m probably halfway through it and my impressions are that it’s very enjoyable to look at and while the first world of puzzles were rather simple, I’ve gotten to a point where I often have to think and there’s a definite feeling of satisfaction when I solve something. I think I’d prefer a little more variety in the puzzles as I’ve started seeing them as something I have to get through in order to learn more about the plot rather than something to be enjoyed for their own sake. I will be the first to admit that I’m not the world’s best thinker so it’s quite possible that most people would find the puzzles more of a breeze than I am.

It seems to have garnered some pretty high ratings though so I was surprised no one here has mentioned it. Anyway, thoughts?
