Relish every minute of this pencil-and-watercolor puzzle, where feelings of melancholy, resignation, and hope subtly intertwine. It’s a brief but poignant philosophical reflection that will linger in your memory. Spending a few hours immersed in the creator’s world is truly impressive.

Gorogoa – A Short, Artistic Puzzle Gem
Gorogoa is a beautifully crafted game with some of the most original art and gameplay I've seen. The hand-drawn visuals are stunning and pair perfectly with the unique tile-shifting mechanic that drives the puzzles. It's a short experience, but one that feels thoughtful and artistic throughout.
While I often found myself stumbling onto solutions by experimentation, there were a couple of puzzles I genuinely solved—and those moments were incredibly rewarding. Otherwise it is still very enjoyable to move through the game.
Overall, Gorogoa is a brief but memorable experience, and I highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates creativity in both design and gameplay.

An incredibly unique puzzle game unlike anything I've played before. It's a shame it's so short, though I bet it took ages to develop.

While not a long game (there's an achievement for beating it in less than 30 minutes), Gorogoa is a gorgeous game with clever puzzles that make you think outside the box. Whether or not it's worth the full price is dependent on if you're willing to pay for art and creativity over amount of content. If the answer for you is no, definitely get this on sale.

An enjoyable puzzle game that can be done in one sitting. It's a point and click style game where you have to solve countless puzzles to progress. The puzzles felt fair and balanced that it provided just enough of a challenge to test you without feeling frustrated. The hand drawn art is beautiful and the way the puzzles are done is unique and clever. However, the simple game play and short playtime, i cannot recommend buying this at full price, so wait until it's on discount.
