Concept looked interesting, but it's just not fun at all and hard for no reasons. These aren't really puzzles, you just randomly try until something ends up working. Would not recommend.

This game reminded me of playing The Witness: A collection of clearly signposted puzzles, with a variety of additional hidden puzzles littered around the environment. The common puzzle mechanism involves wrapping a piece of cable around various obstacles to meet certain criteria. The mechanism proves surprisingly versatile, including a large number of variations and a wide range of difficulty, with some of the later puzzles in each section being devilishly challenging. The final section also includes a number inventive combinations and one-off puzzle concepts. Even deducing the rules for some of the final puzzles is quite difficult. The environmental puzzles also contain a wide range of difficulties, from fairly easy to ridiculously hard. Some of them even rely on out-of-game information, which stuck me as a bit unfair.
There's also a mystery aspect to the game. Your character is exploring a derelict spaceship, and solving puzzles provides access to logs which help you understand what happened to the previous crew and make sense out of the ending. Overall it's an engaging story and a solid set of puzzles.
(I did have some technical difficulties running the game, and even once it would run, I had a persistent display glitch that proved a bit distracting.)
