Waking Violet

This is a well put together game with some nice puzzles. It felt somewhat inspired by Adventures of Lolo (half-tile movement, instant lasers you block with crates and most enemies start asleep) but with enough differences to make it unique.

There are a fair few Sokoban-style block pushing puzzles, so maybe hold off if that's not what you enjoy.
My biggest complaint would be that the protagonist moves rather slowly, so it gets a bit tedious just waiting for her to get places.

Still, I enjoyed my time with the game (3-4 hours to get all endings) and recommend it.

Violet is lost in her dreams: you solve the puzzles, piece the story together and wake her up again... ?
The ambitious, ambiguous plot gives the game a dream-like feel as you work your way through many ethereal, surreal levels, using potions and wits to overcome a labyrinth of puzzles and a growing sense of dread. The game has a great 'take-back' feature allowing you to step-back through a puzzle which is incredibly useful and makes the gameplay fresh and fun. A fun, dark and solid puzzle game with enough unique qualities to make it an indie classic.
