I’ve got my mind set about this game

Starts out like a decent puzzler then rapidly become repetitive. Voiceover work is bland and one dimensional. Puzzles then start to quickly get bugged. Pull out a tab and others go in — except you let go and they just spaz out and you’ve almost gotta grab them to reset it. Not a puzzle element — just buggy. Not fun. Seems like there was no thought out story. Reached a puzzle that was game breaking and gave up. I’m not the only one reading the reviews. Wish I could refund. Avoid!

I tried and it failed..

UPDATE: I've found that the controllers work much better. That said, I've now gotten to a puzzle that's literally impossible..
A new mechanic was introduced that has the needed poles (or whatever you call the arms you stick the gears on) ONLY pop out if you have the cube turned in very specific ways. This would be fine, but the directions it needs to be facing for the 2 different sides of the cube I need to use (moving/ starting gear to to the side housing the stationary gear you work towards) are POLAR OPPOSITE from eachother! Get one side correct, and the others become inaccessible and vice-versa, even if you have gears on them already (it throws the off).
There's NO WAY around this! Even for $10, I can't keep a title that has such an early dead-end. I'd advise anyone else to save their money as well...

OG: The game has a nice premise and the puzzles in-themselves are nice. My issue is with the hand tracking making a simple puzzle much harder than it needed to be. I have to fight half the time to grab the cube in the correct spot to even turn it, and grabbing and letting go of the gears is generally awkward. I've not tried the controllers to play yet, as I've heard that setup is somehow worse (and from a development team that KNKWS how to implement basic controller mechanics...), but hopefully I'll somehow have a better experience with them.
I think it's cool this has a narrative of some kind, but I have noticed the dialogue is slightly off, and the voice acting mostly terrible (mainly fromthe female doctor who's name escapes me atm. The player character isn't great per se, but is fine and gets the job done. The woman sounds about as "human" as talking to Siri or Alexa do on your devices. Like you're literally listening to a.i. read these lines...).
So those distract from the narrative, but hopefully I'll just get used to it the morecI hear them/ her talk.
That is, if I decide to keep the game at all. The hand tracking features just make me feel as if I'm fighting the game a bit more than solving the puzzles, making something that would otherwise be relaxing and rewarding feel incredibly frustrating half the time...

I'm grateful it's fairly priced, but even a few dollars is too much for something your not able to really enjoy. So I'm gonna try it again and hope for the best, as I would love to be able to enjoy this title.

Great game with some strong issues

I love the game and the approche. Very great handtracking and the story keeps me hanging on. But what is a clear No Go here is that the progress is not saved. It might be, I dont know, but I had to restart the game two times now, first because I wanted to see what the challenges are second time because I just found some random buttons that did not make any sence and pressed them wich lead me to the main screen without saving. Best would be to make a clear notification that all saved prgress will be lost and let players confirm again so that problem will be solved.

A low end puzzle game.

I tried this game out, excited to see the hand tracking and such as I played. First off, for a game that only needs to have grabbing the hand tracking seems busted, like I should only need three fingers to hold a gear but instead I have to close my entire hand which feels off with the scale of the gears. Part of the time I grab a gear but instead start tilting the box itself
Secondly, the story feels out of place for what the game is, story driven puzzle games are a thing but this just feels like random story elements not related to the game itself. Do not reccomend, better puzzle games out there, let alone with hand tracking support.

Good but Incomplete

It's an interesting to do puzzles and I enjoyed the experience. It took a while to figure out the controls (I used the controllers instead of hand-tracking) and it's annoying that I can't grab gears with my left hand.

More frustrating was the story. It started really interesting only to have attitudes of NPCs change for no apparent reason and then end abruptly with no conclusion. The story lays out clues ("oh, those numbers mean something") then never follows up.
