Another Tomorrow

I own all the games by Glitch Games and loved them all except for this one. I usually can’t put a new Glitch game down because they are so fun to play, but with this one, I struggled to find the motivation to finish it. I actually put it down for months before Finally going back to finish. There were a lot of elements that didn’t seem to tie to anything in the game because they didn’t hinder or contribute to the game progression. Maybe it was intended to add ambiance but instead it left me wondering if i was missing something and questioning if I actually finished the level. Especially because once a level has been unlocked, the game mechanics allow you to travel to any of them at any time. So maybe I missed something, but rather than continuing to search (as I normally do with video games) I’m instead just relieved the credits rolled. I was disappointed by the story line and dialogue as well. Especially at the end. After the guy in green light starts talking, the ending was immediately obvious but I sat through several more rounds of stilted dialogue while my character figured things out. I couldn’t stop myself from rolling my eyes. Overall, the story was predictable and most of puzzles didn’t feel like they had anything to do with the story. Instead the puzzles seemed tedious with most only serving to make the game longer rather than add to the story or enjoyment. GG has two other games that ended in cliffhangers and I wish they spent their resources on those storylines instead of making this new one.

All of Glitch Games’ games have been outstanding and this new one did not disappoint. The puzzles were clever and had a variety of complexity and difficulty levels to keep the game entertaining. The sound, commentary, and visuals are very well articulated, making the game aesthetically as well as intellectually pleasing. And the whole game is worth the cinematic ending….no spoilers though! I did find some of the details of settings were a bit small, I wanted more ability to zoom in and explore, but the game functions and (awesome) camera worked smoothly. If you like puzzle games I recommend this and all of Glitch’s games. They’re all atmospheric, quirky, and the puzzles include riddles and thought-provoking elements that are much more fun than just finding the right sequence of numbers elsewhere in a room (although they have some of that too, for balance). And, this one is worth it just for “YOU PET THE CAT. THE CAT LIKED IT.” More, please, Glitch Games!! (Also, if you are reading this…other reviews have asked for easier puzzles but please don’t make the puzzles easier — maybe just provide a tiered-clue system to help folks along! 😁)

Been a fan from the beginning, and Glitch has delivered another entertaining and witty game. Didn’t care for the perspective in this one. On an iPhone (or similar small device) everything is exactly that—small. Too small to appreciate—and sometimes even see—the details. I felt a few of the puzzles needed a reset button. Solving some of them required you to start from the original positions, however, most of the time, I’d already manipulated the pieces, not realizing I hadn’t found a clue for the puzzle yet. I then had to go back and use hints because I had no idea how the starting “game board” was supposed to look (ex. The marble board, the puzzles that had sliders that required a proper sequence of directional slides—L,R,U,D, etc.) Another great game though! (And I hate giving a nit-picky review, because Glitch really is one of the best!) Love their jokes throughout, and they really give an excellent variety of puzzles, clues, and objects to find/use/manipulate). As always, looking forward to what Glitch Games brings next!
