        Just got this game -- really excited to try it. :O

        Thanks again for letting me know about it, leonid. I would have... probably missed this entirely for the next several months.

          Let me know what you think Reincarnate.

          Looks pretty cool just looking at it.

            Reach:

            I'm enjoying it so far.

            It's definitely inspired by Myst/Riven. Lots of clues that don't make sense yet, but will probably come in handy later. I've been using printer paper and a pencil to take notes and draw pictures, but if I had any graph paper, I'd be using that instead.

            The mechanics of the puzzles remind me a lot of that Raven's Matrices test you posted some time ago. There is no text or tutorial guidance anywhere, so the puzzles speak for themselves. You have to figure out the rules before you can even begin solving anything.

            Aesthetically, the game is a lot like a cartoony-version of Talos Principle -- pretty cool.

              Sounds like my kind of game.

              Might pick it up this weekend then.

                  This game is starting to feel like Riven and Fez merged together

                    This game is like a giant spatial IQ test.

                    Holy shit it is hard, though I have to say I'm having a ton of fun so far. Seems significantly harder than The Talos Principle.

                    Sunk about 3 hrs into it, haven't really completed any of the areas, have been mostly dabbling in different places. Got really deep into one area (the hexagon puzzles). Could probably finish that area.

                    I'm impressed you were able to beat everything in 14 hrs leonid.

                      18 hrs in I cleared ten places and found 61 monolith symbols. Still stuck on the village ruin place

                        Cleared village area. There are still some locked doors and one puzzle I saw that I haven't solved yet.

                          I can't tell if I've fully solved the village yet, but I think I've got most of it.

                          PS: Fuck that jungle forest sound bullshit, aaaghhh.

                            My experience with simfile making helped with that one :P

                            Also there are some optional puzzles in the village that don't do anything but count towards your # solved number

                              It's really interesting to see how certain concepts have been lifted from Myst and Riven (the tree city, the deserted ship, the underwater cages, the thick brush areas, etc) -- love it.
