    Great hidden gem along the lines of Portal and Talos Principle. The puzzles are all based on magnetism so they feel very dynamic and it's fun to find both the intended solutions and physics-platforming based shortcuts. The story is pretty cool as well, taking a decent shot at a Lovecraftian story. You can definately tell the devs/writers had bigger ambitions than they could fully realize, but it's fun and mixes in…

    A puzzle game about magnetism in which + attracts + and repels -. That decision alone removes any sort of intuitive understanding of the puzzles and you're constantly struggling to think "wait, is this going to repel or attract?" because you're constantly going against the understanding of magnetism taught to you your whole life. It clearly wants to be Portal but it forgets that Portal devs spent a ton of time…
