Having played (and failed) one attempt to crack it, I’m keen for a return.
Head onover hereto play in your net surf tool.
You’ll also find yourself quite stuck.
The secret to navigating the landscape is creating portals through artwork.
The place is full of art borrowed from the Google Arts & Culture library.
Paintings, photographs, scultptures, statues, board game box art, it’s all here.
Each room, you quickly discover, is themed around some common element in the art.
While connections can be quite tricksy, they are prescribed, not freeform associations.
This means the riddles and puzzles aren’t challenging but I still enjoyed discovering connections.
You gain the ability to create your own portals, too.
And I do like the kaleidoscope effect when you warp through artwork.
If you’ve got the option to’t crack the mysteries, it will get you in the end.
My first run was a pleasant 50 minutes.
The mystery is interesting, even after it reveals big secrets.
The game has a very pretty illustrated style.
And the art is, y’know, nice art.
Keen to play more.
