None of it is terribly taxing or difficult to figure out, and in the grand scheme of things, these instances seemed almost like afterthoughts. Granted, there are a few actual puzzles here and there, like turning the hands on a clock or fiddling with knobs to guess the right frequency.

At the time I walked away from that small slice in love with its playfulness, and it remained stuck in my memory - I was excited to hear that it had finally been released! However, I suspect that demo gave the wrong impression about the true nature of Feral Cat Den’s title (as a whole) since the magic I recalled remains hidden for most of the experience.Įverything needed to know about the story is right there in the title - it is literally about Genesis (as in, the universe’s ‘big bang’) and it is a Noir-style tale. WTF An ending that seems to expand the infinite vastness of the universe. LOW Discovering there’s no autosave - the hard way. HIGH Every moment is graphically gorgeous.
