It's an interesting game, but the lack of any sort of hint system does it a big disservice. I was absolutely stymied very early, the third or fourth puzzle. I hadn't gotten a feel for the game, for the puzzles, so I honestly couldn't figure it out. Add a proper hint system, let the players use it as they get comfortable with it, and this will be a banger. EDIT: There is no lightbulb icon.

Hi, sorry to hear you didn't click with the game. Edit: apologies, I got my wires crossed and thought this was a review on a different game. I need to get more sleep apparently! There indeed isn't a hint system in this game, we started adding that as standard in later games.

Absolutely fantastic puzzle game. Certainly worth the cost, even though it's not super long. Full of cool ideas, relaxing, just the right difficulty to never get to the boring side of frustration, but enough that you feel you've learned something each time you make a new snowman. In the end part of the game after all the main rooms, there is a big change of perspective that requires you to resolve all the rooms with different goals, making you understand it all 100%.

It's mostly a great game. But the way things are (or aren't) communicated to the player is in my opinion not clever but a mistake. There are for instance the butterflies - the meaning of which I had to look up. Or the dream sequences - which I again had to look up. Also, the endgame reminds me of the one in "The Witness" in that unlike the initial part of the game, it's not primarily challenging but just incredibly cumbersome and time consuming.
