Alright. [i]A Game About Flicking A Switch[/i] is done and dusted. This is another in the fine tradition of troll games on Steam, where breaking the Fourth Wall and engaging directly with the player is the focal point; the very thing that makes this game both hilarious and awesome. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3535440156 Everything is triggered by....you guessed it...flicking switches. As you progress, the game will continue to mess with you and attempt to get you to quit playing the game, lol. However, the level design and the sequence of events is actually very well thought out and a joy to behold, and so the game is destined to fail in its attempt to provoke you into rage quitting. The variety of different levels and challenges was quite impressive. Most noteworthy was the dark level, which, if you don't uncover the secret to, will actually put you in a position where the only solution is to quit and come back to try again. Except, in order to restart the game from the beginning, you actually need to delete your save file (or select a specific switch at one point in the game). Otherwise, you always re-enter the game where you left off. And so, I would like to share a bit of vague advice regarding the dark level. Don't just go traipsing about. Be thorough when entering that level and try to find the one secret that makes the level doable. There are a fair few achievements in the game. Most are triggered by static events, but some are also triggered randomly. Some will require multiple playthroughs in order to select divergent options available at a couple moments in the game. In keeping with the spirit of the game, the achievements also are messages designed to be read at that moment in the game and tie directly into the story such as it is. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3535440078 Although gameplay is centered around flicking switches, there are actually a few very interesting puzzles to be solved in order to progress. Where you find notes, take those notes literally, would be my advice. The puzzle design was pretty clever in my estimation. And there are a decent number of unique areas to explore as well. Which also tie into the story. I really enjoyed a sequence towards the end where you can actually take a look at these levels again, but from the perspective of a guest rather than the protagonist. That was a cool addition to the game. The audio is also tied to certain achievements, and you will want to actually be listening while playing this game. There is a particular piano piece that is tied to two achievements and is simply an excellent listen. Or not. Depending on your musical preferences, lol. Visually, one of the areas in particular is quite the feat for the eyes, but everything in general looks really cool. Even the most generic closet with a switch is actually visually effective. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3535439989 I bought this for like 59 cents during a recent sale, but actually, you will get your $1.99 out of it if you decide not to wait for a sale. I had a good time with this game. There were a fair few laughs, some solid puzzles, and it was a very cohesive experience in general. Worth a look for sure.
