It's interesting how people's tastes differ. Honestly, the storyline in this game is the bigger selling point for me. I mean, the mosaic itself is relaxing and meditative, but I enjoyed that there's a story and a mystery to solve on top of that, compared to the others where it's just one big puzzle. I hope the dev isn't discouraged by those reviews and keep trying to make new ones with story. I mean, I'm pretty sure…

Fun puzzle game sort of like Minecraft and with a plot to drive the puzzles. I ended working too long on it some days and gave myself a headache but that's a me problem but could be with you if you are compelled to finish things. Overall, a nice amount of content and fun game.

I've loved the other games, with Proverbs being my favourite. But this one has a lot of additions that make it much less engaging. It's cool to see the dev try something new, but the new stuff doesn't work for me. I just want to do the puzzles, I don't want to have to navigate a map, sit through cut scenes or read case files about a thing I have no interest in in the first place. I miss working on the giant puzzle…
