A Brilliant 3D Puzzle Game with Deep Puzzles

[NowThenGoodBad]

On the surface, Obversion looks like a 3D platformer puzzler. However, I've noticed some deeper trends in the levels. The puzzles have puzzles to them. So far it has tested my knowledge of logic, mathematics, and computer science. Things like binary puzzles hidden in the levels have made this a game with replay value. Here's the simply brilliant part:

You can solve the puzzles and levels without even noticing these deeper puzzles. However, I'm very much the type of person who both appreciates surface-level content as well as stumbling across deeper secrets. Think of Jonathan Swift's: A Modest Proposal. Sure, we could eat all the children, but if we read deeper we see a critique about the politicians and state of affairs of the day. A more modern example of this is Idiocracy. Mike Judge really drives home key points about how society is moving to a state of utter incompetence and ignorance while making a fun movie on the surface.

Obversion will challenge your observation skills, critical thinking, and puzzling ability. One of my favorite features of the game is the ability to solve some puzzles in multiple ways. Whether or not MarpleBot meant for this to be the case is an interesting thought, but I really like not being constrained to a single solution.

Overall, I look forward to the full game coming out.
