The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of thought-provoking puzzle platformers and clever time-manipulation mechanics who appreciate artistic storytelling.: Brilliant time-reversal mechanics turn each level into an inventive conceptual puzzle where experimenting with temporal rules yields deeply satisfying epiphanies. Tradeoff: Cryptic metaphorical storytelling and occasionally opaque puzzle solutions can feel deliberately obtuse without careful lateral thinking.
