The game also sometimes hides elements that can be interacted with under odd perspective angles with no clear reason as to why that’s there and why interacting should do anything, but until you do, you’re stuck. Most of the time I couldn’t understand why I did what I did even after doing it and understanding what visual story it’s trying to tell. Mostly because the game never provides any understandable goals or reasons for combining elements – you just randomly rotate the perspective, shifting between different zoomed in elements of the scenes, until randomly stumbling upon something that connects and you can proceed further. It’s a very simple, but fun mechanic that provides some fun during the first ten or so minutes of the game. So, say, a ladder on one side and a grate of the same overall form and color on the other side might actually connect between the two sides and change something on the scene. Elements of those scenes, however can be interacted with or even combined, if you look at them from a correct perspective. The concept is pretty simple – you look at a cube where each of its 5 available sides can show a different scene. It’s not bad, but playing it isn’t particularly fun. Antichamber, Gorogoa or even The Witness (for all of its countless issues) are great examples of titles that do that well, at least for the most part. You have to direct player view to the patterns you wish them to see, but without robbing them of the eureka moment of finding it, provide them with a goal without turning the process into just solving problems, keeping the joy of discovery intact. Puzzle games or sequences in games built around perspective and optical illusions are tricky to do well.
