![]() This is not something more magical than anything else ever, it isn't going to involve you as much as something This is not the new portal. ![]() After all, what human beings do is to solve puzzles which are presented to us in real worlds just like we solve puzzles in this virtual reality that the game presents to us. If you have some ideas about philosophy, this game will give you good opportunities to think about philosophical problems while you are solving puzzles. The background of the game is about fundamental philosophical ideas such as consciousness, ontology, moral, and divinity. There is also an opportunity to climb up the Babel's tower, which I am going to try after I finish the star job. Collecting sigils is easier than collecting stars (I found all the sigils without much struggles. Another one is to collect stars which can be used to open up more puzzles. One is to collect sigils which can be used for you to reach the eternity. All the puzzles are so clever that you can get great satisfaction when you find out the solutions.
