This game is for masochists, but you can't tell that right away. Oh no, it entices you with its cute graphics and adorable fez-sporting hero, Gomez, who lives in a 2D world which suddenly opens up to him when a whole new third dimension is revealed. He goes on to explore it and solve various puzzles along the way.

Some of the puzzles are easy, but the further you progress, the more difficult they get, and honestly, some of them are simply unfair in that they are nearly impossible to solve using normal methods - some were only solved by gamers via brute-forcing (or knowing the answer in advance and trying to find a solution that resulted in it). This is not acceptable for me in a puzzle game and only serves to frustrate and anger... and waste a ton of time. Unsolvable puzzles scream bad design to me. Moreover, there are a few QR codes that you have to scan throughout the game, giving you easy answers to otherwise much more complicated puzzles... unless, of course, you cannot scan them, which was what happened in my case - my phone simply refused to recognise them (perhaps the contrast was too low, as QR codes are meant to be black and white, not light purple and slightly darker purple).

As such, I can only recommend this game to people who enjoy the dissatisfaction of NOT winning the game entirely through their own efforts. While the price (especially when on sale) is very reasonable, it's just too painful a gaming experience - I expected enjoyment when I bought it and got rather less of it than I hoped for!
