It sounds easy but some of them can get pretty complicated and will pretty much force you to restart the puzzle numerous times until you correctly get the order you must complete it in. Basically, think of The Witness and The Talos Principle crossed with Q.U.B.E 2 and you’ll be thinking of something similar! Once you enter one of the puzzle rooms (there are five in total, with a varying amount of puzzles in each), you are tasked with figuring out how to get to the exit doorway and progressing to the next puzzle. Okay, so let’s talk about the core gameplay mechanic of the game – the puzzles. Why? There is a trophy that requires two playthroughs (you can’t back up a save and cheat – I tried that), yet I also found it really enjoyable to play through, so I wasn’t annoyed that I had to play it again.Ĭoloured objects, such as cubes, is the core mechanic of the game. Do you know what I did once I finished the game? I pressed ‘new game’ and played it all the way through for the second time.
The game literally had me hooked from the moment I started playing and I didn’t stop until I had completed the game – which took about 6-7 hours with no guides, help or hints (as it’s pre-release and nobody can talk about it yet). You’ll also be tasked with exploring the Penrose hotel which is where you’ll find various data cubes, documents, clues on how to open the next puzzle room and more. However, you don’t just stumble upon these memories, you must uncover them yourself as you work your way through five floors of increasingly difficult colour-based logic puzzles. With the guidance of Cooper, you will soon discover that not everything may be as it seems as you are pushed to uncover hidden memories and realise the secrets behind your life. Before long, you will have contact with a mysterious female known as ‘Cooper’ who will contact you via your rather impractical circular mobile device – I have no idea how he fits that in his pocket! At first, you only ‘contact’ within this hotel is with android-like beings who seem to be running this hotel for yourself and possibly a few others, based on observations you will make early on. As I stated above, you play a faceless protagonist who awakes one day and finds himself within the Penrose hotel, a peaceful yet unsettling refuge from the outside world. The Spectrum Retreat has an interesting premise surrounding it.
Manipulate your way to the truth in this captivating narrative-driven puzzler. The manager manages to keep up a high level of professionalism whilst I go looking at things I shouldn’t!Ĭheck-in to The Spectrum Retreat for a stay you won’t forget.
