MIND: Path to Thalamus
Change the entire environment! Wrapped in a mind-bending tale, the gameplay of “MIND” focuses on changing the very weather in order to solve puzzles: the player will cycle between day and night, modify the levels of fog and rain and even travel in time between seasons, changing the environment to advance the gameplay-driven story —indeed, the mechanics are directly related to who the protagonist is, what has happened to him and everything he is doing: a man trapped in his own mind, he must use all the tools at his disposition to escape to reality. Accompanied by the snarky yet heartfelt narration of this comatose patient, the player will guide him through fantastical forests, dark caverns and deceptive worlds of water and ice that directly relate to his emotional state at each point in his journey.

The path to the thalamus is beautiful, unstable, mysterious, and unkind.

Highly abstract 3-d puzzle with mediocre voice actor and beautiful visuals. If you get stuck - use walkthroughs. Some are old though, but there are some correct for certain achievements.

This game was recommended to me after telling my friend of "The Talos Principle" and I see where they are coming from. You have to solve puzzles in order to unravel a story about a personal tragedy and the human mind, as the name implies (Thalamus is part of your brain). The game looks pretty, the artist was very creative.
There's nothing inherently wrong with the game, but... too bad it also feels cheap. It was clearly made on a low budget. The slow walking speed got slightly annoying, but I spent more time standing and thinking (and admiring the view) than walking.
I had ZERO crashes or technical issues.
I think it's worth the price of around 12 bucks.
