❤ The Narrative-Driven Puzzle Design Enhances Immersion

The developers have skillfully integrated the puzzles into the game's narrative, presenting each one as a metaphorical representation of the protagonist's internal struggles with insomnia. This narrative-driven approach helps to fully immerse players in the protagonist's perspective, as they navigate puzzles that reflect her thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

❤ Smooth Progression and Pacing Maintain Player Engagement

The game is divided into several chapters, each with its own set of puzzles and narrative beats.
