    What a banger month for indies, and Lorelei is one of the best.

    I like that the content creators on this site have the freedom to do what they want - the way that Marty pitches a different game in the credits just because he feels passionately about it and wants to make a plug for it - you wouldn’t see that anywhere else.

      Nah it's not that difficult honestly
      The cinematic inspirations are really messing with people's head here I think, because the game could have easily been a thematic Layton game puzzle wise

    This is the one video this week I skipped on accident. I love Year Walk so much, if I had known it was the same developer, I would've pre-ordered this the second it was announced!
    Yahtzee needs to try this! This is right up his alley! Year Walk was on the best games of 2013.

    @TwilightShadowVideo 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I've been playing it, and usually, when I play a puzzle game, only a few puzzles near the end stump me. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes on the other hand has been able to stump me and then turn around and make me feel like a genius time and after time with puzzles that look like they have straight forward solutions only to make to scratch your head and ask, "what am I missing?" when the simple intuitive answer yields nothing. I can't recommend this enough to fans of puzzle games, especially if you love a surreal experience on top of the brilliant puzzle design.

  • @slicknicdwyer
    @slicknicdwyer 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Looks interesting, but is there a strong narrative here, or is it more of a vibes kinda game? Cause a lot of the puzzle games I've bounced of off just don't have much in the way of context for the puzzles they contain, and that just kills a lot of them for me (The Witness, for example). Or to put it another way, I think any puzzles should be in service of an overarching narrative/plot, and not just be there for the sake of completing a puzzle. I think that's what I'm trying to say

    The game was easy and fun until the 70 percent mark. Then it became so frustrating and ridiculous that i hated every single moment of it. After finishing the game and logging into super computer, when i realized i needed to solve 9 more puzzles to figure out the story, i finally snapped and uninstalled the game. So good luck to anyone who actually likes this game. You have more patience than i had.
