This game is cool! I like the art style and the puzzles, but the jump/color change combo requires my right thumb to be a different form factor than I have, at least on the switch.

Conan Exiles was supposed to be free too but the devs decided against it.
Next week we get Killing Floor 2, Lifeless Planet and The Escapists 2.
At least, we're supposed to. I think they promised to give The Escapists 2 away a few weeks ago.

A simple designed, yet beautiful puzzle game. The gameplay objective is pretty simple. You continue through a world without color, and your job is to traverse this world to unlock these colors.

A simple designed, yet beautiful puzzle game. The gameplay objective is pretty simple. You continue through a world without color, and your job is to traverse this world to unlock these colors. Each color not only adds to the atmosphere the world, but they are also important to solving puzzles, which I found quite unique. There really isn't too much more to that gameplay wise.
Story-wise however, it is very interesting in that, as you find each color, you also find a note from your mother to Hue (the protagonist) which is narrated by her explaining some of her past. She also often asks some important philosophical questions, which I very much appreciated! It isn't a very complex story but it is thoughtful and insightful.
I definitely recommend at least one playthrough! I can totally understand however, that this wouldn't appeal to too many, but it is a good relaxing puzzle game, with good art and a simple and thoughtful story.

This was a fun little distraction for a few hours. Nothing special, but it was a cool concept and had a neat story, such as it was.
