I couldn't find a thread about this game and it's so good that I thought I ought to start one.

Launch Trailer

The core gameplay is very similar to portal in that you move/manipulate objects to solve puzzles but so far the puzzles have been great fun and the challenge is ramping up nicely.

There's also a fair chunk of narrative, mostly via terminals and a "god" who narrates (slightly like Stanley Parable). The worlds are quite cool to explore and I've already found a few secrets dotted about. There has clearly been a lot of time put in and it's getting some good reviews on gaming sites and Steam.

The only slight downer is it's quite expensive for what could be viewed as an Indie game but you can get it cheaper if you don't mind using one of the sites selling Russian Steam Gift codes.

There's a short Public Test that is definitely worth trying, if you like that then the game is probably an easy purchase.

Bumping this up as I've just completed it and it's probably my GOTY. It's smarter than Portal and the overarching plot/philosophy is very well done too.

If you enjoy puzzle games then pick it up now or make a note to grab it as soon as it's on sale. You'll thank me I promise :)
