Some Rather Creative Outside the Box Puzzles Satisfying to Complete

...And some that just didn't make sense to me. Some even seemed bugged. However, each puzzle in the game has multiple hints to unlock that help you complete just about any of them if you are stumped. The game is really light on story. It does however have a charming design. Some of the puzzles themselves at times reminded me of The Turing Test, but the game itself reminded me of how in The Witness, the whole game itself just serves as window dressing for you to solve the puzzles within.

It's a nice, unlock-as-you progress puzzler. Where you advance progress in one different playing field of the game so you can make advances in another different playing field of the game... As above, so below!

Trying and succeeding

I really enjoyed the game's premise - moving between the "computer world" and the "real world" to solve puzzles. This required a different kind of thinking than with most puzzle games, and I found it challenging and satisfying.

I did lose my patient with the game around the final boss; not because it was super difficult but because if you died you had to go through it all again, and it was pretty repetitive. Up until than I was having lots of fun with it though.

The "story" wasn't very clear, even with finding all the collectibles, but in all honesty I didn't really care - I was there for the puzzles and for the most part they delivered. Not sure if I feel the game is too short or not... I do want more, but I'm not sure if the premise could support it without getting stale. I'll take what I got.

Fun meta puzzler

ITGTTKM is a really fun meta puzzler where you are in a cabin, playing a game on an in-game computer that correlates with puzzle elements in the cabin itself. It leads to tons of fun puzzle solving, making connections, with a unique flair.

I love meta elements in games, like all of the Daniel Mullins games (like Inscryption). So this is right up my alley. The puzzle design is really well done, besides from one or two that were way too well hidden…

It’s a bit short for the price, but overall is worth picking up. I wish it went a bit longer and had more branching options - it seems like there’s an extra ending, but would’ve liked even more branching paths. But it’s very solid as just a simple puzzle game and I recommend it!
