Review with videos

[kupuguy]

I enjoyed the demo but it's not like any games I've played before so I undoubtedly made more of a meal of it than I should have.

The drafting mechanic is interesting but I found it very easy to get myself blocked and unable to progress. I got confused over the description of the room that lets you reroll for new blueprints, when I first read it I thought maybe it was saying I could come back and change the map later but it's actually just a single reroll. Perhaps the wording ould be clearer or perhaps I just need to read more carefully.

On the subject of reading I see in other discussions here there's a note for the dartboard puzzle. I don't think I spotted the note but still managed to figure it out fairly easily once I realised that perhaps it was intended to be solved without further clues. Nice puzzle.

It wasn't clear to me which things reset and which things carry over. For example opening the observatory roof and aligning the telescope seems to carry over from day to day but I found a safe code one day and it didn't work on another day when I found a safe so that presumably changes. Probably that's all just things that need to be learned.

I have a fledgling youtube channel where I play games. These are not going to be the most exciting playthoughs you've ever seen but the first three days of my Blue Prince are on my channel (and the fourth day will be published next Wednesday). I also made the videos available in Steam so you can find them on my profile and not have to go off to YT. If anyone does want to watch them I suggest setting the speed to 2x to minimise the painful pauses where I had no idea what to do next.

The first day is the longest because I'm trying to figure out how things work. Second and third days are pretty short: maybe I made poor drafting choices or perhaps I was unlucky. The good news is I think things were finally coming together on the fourth day and I actually made some progress.
