PC.

The PC version gives you the ability to jump yet the ios version does not. The controls are pretty difficult to navigate as well even though I adjusted them. I have to take a star away for that guys. However, this is a great game with interesting puzzles in this bizarre/beautiful world. It's lengthy too which I appreciate. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten 100 times the attention that it has. Brilliant.

Excellent, slow-paced game

The game is rather abstract and mostly about exploring and solving puzzles, moving onto another area and then solving more puzzles. It excels in atmosphere (an excellent soundtrack and sense of being alone, in this case).

There are secrets to find, however there is one inaccessible secret due to being unable to jump (the PC version allows you to jump, whereas the iOS version does not). Hopefully this gets patched soon so we can get the secret ending. Other than that, the game works from start to finish (normal ending works fine).

Really enjoyed my time with this one, and I can easily recommend it to anyone looking for an unusual puzzle/exploration game.

Astronaut Archaeology

Required: imagination, basic puzzle-solving skills, willingness to suspend disbelief in order to experience awe.

NOT required: quick 3D coordination, killer instinct, advanced puzzle-solving and code-cracking skills.

Somewhere between ancient Egypt and the monoliths of _2001: A Space Odyssey_ lies Kairo. At least, that's the impression left on me while exploring its cavernous rooms and massive courtyards.

This is a low-key adventure game about fantastic ruins. As far as I've played, there are no explanations of these places, how they came to be, or how they defy the laws of physics. The rationale for solving the puzzles is that they are there to be solved, not that we are saving the world from disaster. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the puzzles only exist to make sure you take the time to explore each structure, and take the time to imagine what its purpose must have been.

Its echoing ambience is stark and vast, and I enjoy it greatly.
