If you're looking for an original and unique game based on exploration and environmental puzzles, On Your Hands is definitely worth your time and money.

The story is told mainly by logs and documents, some of them are a bit too long or cryptic but overall it's still interesting.
The artstyle is simple and functional to the gameplay and the atmosphere, although you might need some time to get accustumed to it.

This game truly shines where it matters the most: the puzzles are varied and challenging; the mechanics are fresh and smartly designed, they blend together in ways that make you think outside the box and leave room for creativity and emergent gameplay; the difficulty increases gradually and without highs or lows.
It starts a bit slow but before long the quality of level and puzzle design skyrockets, keeping you engaged also by cleverly mixing puzzle solving with dynamic action set pieces (which are the main "source" of horror/thrill in the game; some of them can feel frustrating because figuring out solutions or how to deal with enemies under pressure is pretty difficult, but the checkpoints are generous and there's no unfair situations).

It's a great mix of puzzles and action; it might be surprising with its setting and presentation, but it will surprise you even more with its awesome gameplay mechanics.
