To wrap it all up: interesting concept, trippy and engaging level design, good puzzles, decent voice acting, optimization could have been worked on more because after a few quick searches online I saw I wasn't the only one with problems and random crashes.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Nothing felt overbearing, too hard to figure out, but you still had to use your head and apply simple logic, and most of the time, it felt really satisfying solving them.
