Vignettes

Short, sweet, and has some very cute little secrets for those who pay attention. Very adorable art style, and the puzzles go deeper than the main gimmick of the game.

My favorite game that’s so hard to describe.

Do you enjoy perspective puzzles? Do you enjoy puzzles, that contain puzzles within themselves? Are you the type of person that gets sparkles in their brain when they see aesthetic colors and 3D designs that are clean as can be?

If you answer yet to any of these questions this game is for you! Vignettes is a shockingly fun game about discovering items in other items to make a collection. It asks you to play with or, jingle its objects around like keys to find more or see what they do. It is a game of pure joy, and a little spot of light I think is worth everyone giving a try.

Puzzle game that involves rotating 3D objects until they look like other objects, at which point they will change into that object. I have some issues with spatial awareness and understanding at times, so I think ultimately this game was more difficult for me than it would be for others. There were a few transitions between objects that were difficult for me to find without a guide, and some of the game's secrets seemed quite complex and possibly a bit moon logic-y. Despite these issues, I found the game quite cute, I was able to stumble on a large amount of the solutions with no problems, and I found the secrets to be quite charming, especially the sea and space related ones.

fun game to play when you have a broken finger!

Vignettes has a cool visual conceit, but its true strength is giving just enough information to allow the player to engage with the exploration elements. Minor issues are that the object bending conceit can occasionally feel finicky, and I wish there was a better indication that puzzle progress can get reset when saving progress.
