Etherborn
Etherborn is an elegant leap in the gravity-puzzle genre an environmental puzzle platformer built on exploring and understanding gravity-shifting structures.
You are a voiceless being that has just been born into a world where a bodiless voice awaits your arrival. As your first thoughts emerge, you realise your journey has just begun.
You experience gravity perpendicular to the surface you are standing on, allowing for creative exploration possibilities in environments carefully crafted as navigation-based puzzles.
Travel through beautiful and exotic sceneries where each level is an organic puzzle that you need to explore, manipulate and shift your gravity on in order to decipher the way forward.

I needed less than 3 hours to finish the game without NG+.
Definitely recommended. Artwork, sound and music are very enjoyable.
The puzzle elements are fantastic. They were somewhat hard but not frustrating.
I also really liked the story.
The only two downsides are:
- it's rather short
- credits are not skippable and pretty long

A mixed-positive review.
The good:
Aesthetically beautiful
Relaxing new agey music
Early puzzles were fun
About the right length (it took me 4 hours to beat)
The bad:
Last few puzzles introduce a new mechanic, and I would not have figured it out if it weren't for a YouTube walkthrough. I would have preferred a longer game with easier puzzles.
The story/narration is pretentious new age gibberish.
Verdict: For puzzle game fans, I'd wait for this go to on sail. $5 or less would be about right.

Great short experience. Unique puzzles kind of in the vein of Monument Valley. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for something moderately challenging but low-impact.

Etherborn is another one of those games as art experiences. It is a pretty simple puzzle game with great atmosphere. The sound track was good and my overall experience has been positive. It took me a little over 2 hours I think to finish my first playthrough. I plan on playing New Game plus here shortly. Overall I would recommend this to any puzzler fan or fan of artsy indies.

Neat 3 dimensional puzzler, took about 2 hours the beat the normal game (there's a more challenging new game+). Of course with this kind of game the controls and camera take a hit since the Escher physics don't map well to gamepads, I'd say it works fairly well considering, but still annoying when you fall to your death because the camera shifts. Remember to toggle run to always on, still not very fast but the walk speed is arduous.

A short, sometimes challenging, little puzzle/platformer. Ultimately more style than substance. But for what it is, it is enjoyable for the short spell is takes to complete. In my opinion it's definitely not worth full price (£14 at time of review). I think that's beyond ridiculous given other games at that price point. Playing very casually I got 100% in 4.5 hours. Terraria is a third of the price and is hundreds of hours for most. Come on now, we're trying to have a society here.
Fun platforming, nice little puzzles, lovely artsyle, some cool visuals, fun to 100%, no BS achievements. Get on sale.

Really excellent environment, great audio, and really tough puzzles. Thoroughly enjoyed the tricks my mind was playing on me while playing this game. Recommend!
