The pre-release marketing forLorelei and the Laser Eyeshas suggested a particularly abstract experience.
This was all intentionalgame director Simon Flesser told me last year.
“We want to make viewers wonder, and think.”
So how does Lorelei compare?
Its premise is actually rather simple to explain.
As for the puzzles themselves, prepare yourself for plenty of reading and writing.
The in-game instructions found at the start even suggest playing with pen and paper to hand.
Indeed it’s easy to feel overwhelmed at first.
Which puzzles to focus on first?
Where do you even begin looking for the answers?
How can you be sure what information is noteworthy?
Eventually, though, the pieces click into place as you realisethisis connected tothatwhich relates back to thatotherthing.
Piecing together the puzzles by extension means piecing together the story.
If I can overcome my own fear of numbers, I just might make it through.
