The Puzzle of a Lifetime (opens in new tab)

“The fact that Annapurna could bring a dedicated marketing budget felt important.”

This article sounds like a result of that marketing, although it does sound like an interesting game. The best part is the mention of inbflat.net that I hadn't heard of before and is awsome.

I played through this last night and it was interesting, surprising, weird, and very artistically and technically competent. I think it's the most interesting game I've seen this year, and I play a lot of games. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was that it's short, which I mitigated by playing it through twice.

That's the dream, followed by the nightmare

Marketing or not, I got the game and played in one sitting. Initially I did not realize how it was getting solved. Soon the creator’s puzzle techniques started becoming evident (repetitive) and then it was enjoyable. Became easier though.

I played the demo some 3 years ago, maybe 4, and loved it. I can barely wait to get it (but I will, I'm gifting it to my wife for Christmas).

This is a fantastic and inspiring game. It's short but worth it, very unique. It's a masterpiece of it's game mechanic.

I love the idea behind this game. It's like a point and click puzzler with less random clicking guesswork.

I think this is just a game advertisment.
