Finally got around to playing this. I don't typically play puzzle games but the atmosphere in this game was so good that I pushed my struggling brain through the later puzzles without ever really feeling like giving up. Will definitively pay attention to whatever these devs make in the future.

LTTP: The Swapper

I just installed it and am loving it. I must have gotten it via my PS+ backlog before I got my PS4.
This is a gorgeous game. I just looked up and discovered I had been playing it for 2 hours nonstop. Now I'm stuck, but having a blast.

i think i'm at about 30 orbs...but reading reviews seems like i'm not that far into the game. says the game is super short (a few hours) but it seems like i've already played for more than that...
this game makes me feel dumb. lol

it depends how fast you are getting the orbs.

The Swapper is amazing. I think only 3 puzzles in the game had me stumped too so that was satisfying in itself.

if someone claimed himself a genius for complete it fast
i don't believe that always be true
I have a feeling you wont like the game the further you progress. I found the early stuff more enjoyable and not overly difficult but in the later game theres 4 or so puzzles that are just dumb. I brute forced one and the others I looked up. Two of them I had the solution figured out but wasn't positioned just right which was super annoying.
The story stuff was fairly interesting with the exception of a massive gaping plot hole which kinda breaks everything. Overall though i personally didn't really care for the game as its not really my type of puzzler.

Holy shit. I had no idea. Makes me love the game even more.
I beat the game some time ago but I don't remember any gaping plot hole :| (I do remember the last 3 puzles though) What was it? (spoiler it for the people that haven't beaten the game yet)
a soul can be transferred to any clone but can only exist in one body at a time. all copies of a body are empty and simply mimic the soul bodies actions.
the player character is a clone.

yeah i'm starting to get frustrated. some i get right away but there are others where i'll spend a ton of time on and i'll just quit and go to bed so i don't start throwing controllers around lol
story and visuals have me intrigued though. may end up having to cheat if i can't finish it myself before type-0 and bloodborne hite :\

i don't remember how much exactly, maybe if you describe what kind of puzzle you are doing now will help.
my first play took around 4 hours sometimes i get frustrated but i kept trying different ways until i solved it. played it again to see the other end it took less than 2 hrs.
I created a video of my playthrough. It shows some story scenes (intro, ending (3:01) --> Spoiler warning), a spacewalk and some other atmospheric scenes (walk through the garden etc.). Created with ShareFactory. I really enjoyed the game, great art design, atmosphere and a minimalistic but intense story!
