The WhatsNext verdict
For Fans of pure logic puzzles who appreciate somber narrative undertones and distinctive storybook art.: It layers clean, color-mixing mechanics and bridge traversal into deceptively intricate spatial riddles, set against a beautifully bizarre fungipunk backdrop that frames every solution with quiet emotion. Tradeoff: Its steep difficulty curve can halt momentum abruptly, and the poetic, fragmented narrative remains deliberately ambiguous rather than resolving neatly.
What it does best
Simple rules unfold into genuinely brain-bending puzzles
A gorgeous, unmistakable fungipunk world
Eerie, beautiful melancholy you want to linger in
A surprisingly touching story about love and loss
What might put you off
A sharp difficulty spike and punishing later puzzles
Vague narrative with a weak final payoff
The setup
What you are walking into
She Remembered Caterpillars is a fungipunk fantasy about love, loss, and holding on, told in the format of a colour-based puzzle game. A tale as the bond between parent and child, this lush and bewildering title will have players testing their wits against a variety of challenges, some devious, and others outright nefarious, but all beautiful and very, very strange.
