looK INside - Chapter 1 Reviews

nice and cozy

100% review - Beautiful art, good narration and storytelling was emotive for a short game. However, I found the puzzles often directionless and I sometimes felt forced to discover things by spam clicking the screen. It was fun to interact with the scenes but it was hard to tell which interactions were apart of puzzles and which were just to build atmosphere. I ended up having to follow a guide because some elements I didn't find self explanatory. Furthermore, I found it hard to follow the genealogy tree through the story as narration was non-linear and there was no way to keep track of where and when the portraits and names were discovered to refer back to. For a genealogical puzzle, I felt this fell very short, for a click puzzle game, it was okay. I am excited to play the second chapter, but do wish the puzzles were more intuitive so I didn't feel forced to follow a walk through. The achievements were very doable and I only ended up searching how to do one or two, the rest I completed naturally through game play.
