How it feels

A meditative journey through intricate puzzles and expansive environments, where every discovery feels like a quiet, intellectual revelation.

What players say

Players are split on this sequel: many find the puzzles solid but less elegant than the first, with overly large maps and too much walking between them. The story and dialogue divide reviewers, some praising the philosophy and others finding it intrusive. Visual bugs and motion sickness are common complaints, while the gold puzzles provide a satisfying challenge for those seeking it.
