Kairo is a rather atmospheric abstract exploration/puzzle game. I think a game like this could work well if there were interesting things to find, but Kairo doesn't have any. The game just ends up being boring from start to finish with a pretty poor and confusing ending to top it off. There are a few pretty creative puzzles throughout but many of the others make no sense and even seem like they deliberately try to confuse you. That's not good puzzle design if you ask me. Replay value seems to rely on annoyingly-hidden secrets, some of which require a lot of slow backtracking.

So if you feel like walking around slowly, staring at confusing puzzles in differently colored rooms with nothing remarkable in them, this is the game for you.
