How it feels

Navigating a bleak, physics-driven world as a fragile spark of light feels tense and lonely, with puzzles and survival threading through stark monochrome scenery.

What players say

Players are split on Evil Cogs. Many praise the dark, Limbo-like art style and atmosphere, but a loud group calls it an awkward mobile port with frustrating 'flappy bird' style movement and text-to-speech voice acting. The game is short and simple, and some note a store for power-ups.
