    A handcrafted tribute to retro psychological sci-fi. The mystery of this game is incredible. The gameplay hooks you from the start with a brilliant body-swapping system that keeps getting more challenging as you explore. The audio design is brilliant, the emptiness is beautifully satisfying, and the rooms are clever without being frustratingly impossible. Highly recommended.

    While the physical craft behind The Swapper deserves acknowledgment, an evocative diorama cannot redeem a game whose foundation offers so little in return. Strip away the moody lighting, and the core gameplay degenerates into uninspired spatial logistics. The cloning device introduces an intriguing premise yet the game exhausts its conceptual possibilities almost immediately. Puzzle games need not be measured…
