Supraworld A Toy World Full of Secrets

Supraworld does not hold your hand, and that is the whole point. There are no invisible walls: the geometry you see is exactly what you get, and what you can climb, cross or exploit. If a rooftop looks reachable, it probably is, and reaching it might be the solution. Decoration is nearly nonexistent here. Everything you see exists for a reason, so when something looks odd, that oddness is a hint. You hunt for new abilities that open up the vast, interconnected world, and the more you find, the more the map unfolds. It is a game for experienced players who are tired of being told where to go and want to be surprised instead. Fair warning: it is hard.

The setup is cheerfully absurd. Puzzle storms are rising all over the world, making everyone's lives harder, which makes solvers the most important people around. You are an apprentice of the solver's guild, and your final exam is a classic: save the princess from the nearby castle. What you do between here and there is up to you. Most of your time goes to exploring, solving puzzles and poking at secrets, and the game explicitly invites you to ignore the main quest, exploit its mechanics and get out of bounds. The princess is the goal. She is not the schedule.

New to the series are detective cases, and they play by their own rules. You are freely deducing who committed one of five murders: gather what you can, weigh the motives, and lock up whoever you believe is the culprit. The game does not grade you. There is a culprit in your head and a cell in the world, and you decide who goes in it. If you like your mysteries without a confirmation screen telling you that you were right, this is your corner of the game. It is deduction with consequences you have to live with, which is either the most nerve-racking or the most honest part of the whole adventure.
