Station 117

Shortly after getting this game, I started playing and the whole thing froze. I had to quit out. On restart, it worked for a few minutes, then froze again. The next day I decided to give it another go, and this time I was able to play through the remainder of the game. But the fact that I had encountered such a slew of bugs made me wonder at every puzzle if there was another glitch. This made me far more reliant on hints than I would have normally been, because I felt I had to keep checking that I was solving a puzzle and not dealing with an error. Had I played through it without bugs, I think I would have quite enjoyed it. So I’m sad that my system crashed with this game. My wife played through the game on her own without encountering any bugs, and she enjoyed it thoroughly.

*Way* better than one of this developer’s other puzzle games that was recently on sale, Great Escapes (that one was buggy, awful and just not fun). This game is nicely polished, my only complaint is that I did not think many of the puzzles really made sense. I’m a big fan of classic adventure games, escape rooms, and puzzles in general. It’s likely really tricky to get the difficulty level right. This game comes close, but I felt like I needed to consult hints a bit more than I normally like to in puzzle games.

Another fantastic release from Glitch! This game was like a mini-Veritas and reminiscent of the older Glitch games (All that remains, Forever Lost). Although I having been longing for another long game, I can understand the hard work and time that goes into these shorter ones. We also reap the benefit by getting new games much more often. I truly hope that Glitch continues to expand on this storyline by offering new segments every few months. This is by far my favorite shorter release since Veritas itself. Keep up the great work.
