When I first heard about this game, it looked interesting and I loved the art style. I downloaded the demo and was instantly hooked. When I got the actual game, I was fearful that like most adventure games, that the puzzles would become very Myst like and drive me insane, with seemingly no end in sight for me solving the puzzle, forcing me to use a walk-through. Luckily for me, I was very wrong. The puzzles are very mind numbing at times, but the solutions are so logical, that if you can't figure it out, its your fault, not the game for being to difficult. I never once needed a walk-through, but I did use the occasional hint button, but even when I did, most of the time, it showed me what I already knew. The visuals are drop dead gorgeous, completely captivating you into this mechanized metropolis. Every little thing in the background that moves, you notice and care for with a deep visual beauty. The soundtrack needs to be listened to. Its very profound robotic ambient beauty and really impacts you as you solve puzzles. Your character is filled with personality despite the fact not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the whole game
This game is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, a true art form of gaming.
