This is fantastic! Fascinating, mysterious, and quite fun too.

The combination of 1-bit minimalistic graphics, ambient music, and mysterious horror-esque tone is perfect for this kind of symbolic puzzle game, making for a quite effective atmosphere without needing a ton of detail. It also helps that the gameplay is interesting in its own right.

As you explore the mysterious abandoned factory, you need to make pieces of the scenery come together in the shape of a talisman, but every little machine and contraption has its own mechanics and properties you need to learn to solve each puzzle. It's quite a cool idea, one I wish I saw in more games.

Some machines will require reflexes, others will require problem solving, but all of them will require you to find out how they work by experimentation and reasoning, rather than a thousand tutorials. None of them are actually hard to figure out, but I'm still glad we're left to figure them out on our own rather than told exactly what to do.

Also, the story has a bit of a cosmic horror aspect that I quite enjoy. It's rather understated, but it's interesting enough to keep me anxious (in a good way).

Overall, really cool game. Highly recommended to lovers of mysteries and unique puzzles.

This is a really great game. All the puzzles are engaging and challenging without being too difficult. Also cool that there are multiple ways to get 15 talismans just in case you can't figure out a puzzle or two.

Great game, good puzzels good sprite work, and a good story if your able to find it.

AMAZING!!!!!

Wow this is a banger
