This is a beautiful atmospheric game that does a good job of telling a story through subtle, less conventional means while challenging the player with mindbending puzzles with the game's core swap-and-clone mechanic.

The feel of the story and game feels very dark and gritty but never shoves it in your face. The moments this game capitalizes on most are the small ones where you come across something, either a sound, note or object and it just clicks in your head what it refers to, revealing the mystery of the plot a little more. The puzzles themselves are difficult and rewarding to do. The level design shows off the core game mechanic very well in ways that would surprise you. I found myself spending up to half an hour on some of the harder puzzles and enjoyed every second of it. The shear relief after solving a puzzle left me feeling accomplished.

I would recommend this game if you enjoy a good challenge and the feel of an indie game. The difficulty reminded me of Super Meat Boy and it's story telling mechanisms reminded me of Fez. The game itself isn't very long and can be finished in one afternoon sitting and because of this, the game feels very much like an interactive movie that just left me reeling after the credits started rolling.

I highly recommend playing this game with headphones on and with the lights off. This really immerses you in the experience.

10/10
