Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
28 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
Creatively uses the game's light mechanics to blend the hand-drawn assets of the four worlds, as well as somehow incorporating a 3D model without it looking really out of place.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
The lighting mechanic is fun to utilize and challenges my mind to solve the puzzles.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
21 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
It's kind of hard and frustrating at times, but in general it has some great mechanics which are used in a pretty neat way, with a mysterious plotline (more of a story told than a plotline and stuff) and very cool looking artwork, giving it an overall mysterious and intersting environment.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
It is a very pretty title, with the different light sources changing the look of the world in salient ways, and some lovely sound effects and minimal music to support.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
If you don't care about potentially getting a RSI and enjoy both logic puzzles and high difficulty revolving around precise timings, then it might be for you.
