Animal Well
I do not like puzzle boxes but I do love Animal Well. That’s because it’s not a puzzle box waiting for you to guess the magic answer or decode its clever logic. It’s a puzzle box that asks you to shove your hand in, rummage around until everything is smashed and broken, and then magically repairs itself so you can break it all over again. Each destructive spasm reveals something small but true. These chaotic experiments begin to build until the secrets of the box have etched themselves into your muscle memory and you can solve each one with the flick of a wrist and no collateral damage. Then you learn the game was only just getting started. — Ethan Gach
A good match for: People who enjoy trust falls and rewiring their brains.
Not a good match for: Anyone who hates retracing their steps to find that one clue they missed.
