The nier/drakengarde of puzzle games and one of my most memorable gaming experiences in a long time. I played through at the same time as a friend and we both shared lore/puzzle/secret notes in a google doc, and it was a ton of fun solving things together and having the game confirm or subvert our theories about the story. This game easily holds 50+ hours of puzzles, secrets, and story content so the $12 asking price is well worth it. Also check out the dev's previous project, a fantastic shmup and especially enlightening after playing through Void Stranger's story.

Some tips from me:
- Rest when you can
- Don't be afraid to write down discoveries or take pics/screenshots of important looking screens
- If something seems like a devil's deal it probably is, but it's worth doing to see what happens
- Don't worry about opening every single chest, especially if it's going to get you killed
- If a puzzle is giving you too much trouble, don't be afraid to step away for a little bit
- When you learn something new, think "if this is possible, what else can I do?"
- When you hit end credits, play a little more
