A NEW KIND OF STORYTELLING Gorogoa isn't just a game – it's a work of art, expressing itself through soulful, charming illustrations and distinguished puzzle mechanics.

A really good game with interesting mechanics. Worlds within other worlds. It's not easy to describe but it's definitely stimulating for the mind. Unfortunately in just 50 minutes I'm already at the third chapter, this makes me realize the short duration of the game and for this reason I recommend taking it at a discount. overall rating 8/10

Linux: yes, perfect under standard Proton
Ultrawide: yes, but the whole game happens in a square window.
DualSense: sort of. It makes vastly more sense mouse-only
Do not, under any circumstances, look up a walkthrough for this game. You can do it, and you'll hate yourself for giving up. The puzzles are all logical and rely on you recognising visual cues. If you get stuck, take a break and try again. You'll occasionally solve them via blind luck, and immediately understand why
You get ~2 hours and it's totally worth it.
Buy this game.

Gorogoa falls perfectly into my favourite type of puzzle game, one where the puzzles aren't hard enough to make you pull out a guide, but aren't easy enough for you to breeze through them. The perfect middle ground where after each puzzle you can go "Ah!", and feel accomplished. The beautiful art and great soundtrack is just the cherry on top. The only drawback is, it's short, really short, and for that price... eh.... i would wait for a sale, however this is definetly a gem worth playing :)

“Gorogoa” can be best characterized as a 2D multi-dimensional puzzle-adventure about enlightenment, and a terrible price paid for it. Story is non-linear and is splintered into different stages of life of the main protagonist, bound together by common pursuit for knowledge; it may seem confusing and fragmented at the beginning, but it starts making sense toward the end when it culminates. On the technical side, game features colorful and meticulously drawn graphics and quieted but mesmerizing music. Gameplay is about literally traveling through time and space via composed, overlaid or inlaid pictures, solving abstract puzzles and leaving it up to you to deduce the story and the meaning; it will last for about an hour or so, with a few replays in case you’re an achievement hunter and initially miss some. As a puzzle game, “Gorogoa” definitely stands as above-average, and has gained number of rewards during the year of its release, and shouldn’t be missing in the collection of any puzzle-lovers.

Gorogoa is an abstract puzzler that can be tricky to work out. There are no hints or instructions, just visual clues hidden among comic-like scenes. Some of the puzzles are difficult and it gets harder towards the end. The plot is vague so the player has no idea what is coming next. There is one character that is led through a series of scenes collecting coloured fruit. It is relaxing but not overly satisfying. 6.5/10

I finished this game three times: once with my sister, once with my girlfriend and another time with my cousin.
Except for me, none of them are gamers, and we all loved it.
