Lightmatter

Each level feels like a step forward in both narrative and complexity, pushing you to think differently while keeping the gameplay engaging and rewarding.

A love letter to the Portal games in the sweetest and most kind way while doing something completely unique in gameplay gimmick, making it the classiest type of tribute; wanting the player to feel similar to how they did while playing those games while perfectly carving out its own identity to stand on its own.

I had added the demo for this game to my library because I saw the screenshots and thought the art style was beautiful - then proceeded to *completely forget about it for years* (forgive me, devs!) until I randomly finally had some time to kill.

The game excels at gradually ramping up the difficulty, introducing new mechanics at just the right pace.

It's worth having a playthrough just to experience the lights, if you haven't been pulled in by the first puzzle, the voice acting will surely pull you the rest of the way.
