Games You Played Today VIII: Journey of the Cursed Poster

I picked up Recursive Ruin in the Steam sale. I think I learned about it from ellaguro’s post a while back.

I’d forgotten anything I heard or read about it, though, and just remembered that it sounded like something worth trying. The parts in the apartment are kind of tedious. Like almost all modern video games, this one could use a lot less talking. And I can’t help wondering whether the tragic backstory is actually supposed to be funny in places.

The puzzles themselves are decent, and the main draw is the kaleidoscopic world. I kind of wish that instead of geometric shapes they messed with a realistic-looking world in that way. Maybe they will later in the game, but I doubt it.
