Looking at achievements, I thought there was 50 levels in total, turns out the game has 8 levels, which then just repeat with higher difficulty. Also lists finnish as supported language but everything is big icons or english only, steam store page clearly being horrible machine translation.
UI is just so horrible that once you have done the 8 first puzzles and go back to main menu, it says "complete 8/8" and you can only click on the 8 puzzles - you have to play the last puzzle and then continue from there to play higher difficulties. Doesn't help that the game does not save anything, so when you relaunch the game, everything is locked once again and best times gone.
Settings menu is also not working, the fullscreen button does nothing. The "like" button in main menu takes to "Nimos Games" steam page instead of "Furry games" listed on this store page, so it's also one of these publishers which work under gazillion names to hide their tracks on the site.

So this is basically your regular "concentration" memory matching game, but the twist is that you have to switch two cards between each other to move them. What this means in practise however is that you memorise where the cards are, then instead of just clicking the two cards, you spend a whole minute just constantly clicking to move the cards next to each other, moving rest of the cards in the process and the animations/responsiveness is non-exsistant, so it's just clicking over and over again.
Another problems include that translations are machine generated and at the very least finnish translation has swedish dialog windows and text breaking over the UI.
Achievements from unlocking cards is also broken.
Credits are literally "art by ioshiazul, game by black hole studios". Art is decent enough but nothing groundbreaking.

It is extremely simple top-down stealth game which can be beaten in an hour, so it's not bad for what it is.

Dualsense controller worked out of the box. The filtering looks horrible but there's setting to turn everything off. Two of the achievements on the time of writing this are broken, so prepare to be slightly annoyed if you wanted to 100% the game unless they manage to fix that.

If you have played any Ace Attorney games, this is basically exactly that, not much more or less. If you haven't tried any of the previous entries this is good to start with, but I would still highly suggest getting original trilogy first, this being newest in the series means that there is a lot more production value compared to the early GBA/DS titles so the previous games can feel bit old if played afterwards.
For 3DS port the graphics do hold up pretty well, the new mechanic to pursue other witnesses on stand isn't that great and you basically just press an extra button to continue the dialogue when ! pops up, but it doesn't distract or make gameplay worse either.

Now just waiting for the Platinum Games collab for game to be released and CGI movie adaptation.
Also was kinda neat how my computer and keyboard lighting reacted with the gameplay.

Sadly the game is already relatively pretty old and made with HTC Vive in mind specifically, so playing this on Valve Index and Index controllers feels like nightmare and I literally couldn't even go through the tutorial portion of the game and changing movement to locomotive basically makes the game completely unplayable.
Might be fun game if you manage to get Vive controllers to play it with.

There's zero need to pay any money and everything is free, even with paying money everything is extremely nicely done (can continue old season passes so no FOMO) and all cosmetical, there's enough cosmetics so you are never dissatisfied with your current animal.
Game being 2D it's really fast to just download, start and go, discord lobby system allows more easily to group up on many servers without needing to do the whole friending on steam for couple rounds.
Cannot think much downsides for this game, only one being slight lack of players especially on EU servers so most matches have some amount of bots, but not sure why more people aren't playing this.

It's free and under half an hour, so you aren't wasting too much by playing it, but still would not. There are other VR experiences which are short and sweet like Aperture hand lab which was super enjoyable.

No settings so volume is too high if chatting in voip at the same time, haven't updated to newer controllers than vive, desktop window steals the cursor so you have to go to physical desktop to stream and such, oculus software opens for no reason, no turning controls so you have to physically turn which at least curls the cable and worst makes the game impossible, teleporting and cube handling is clunky and unintuitive, puzzles are ridiculously easy and there's only cube puzzles without portals, etc. etc.

Love good puzzle games, really loved hexcells, but this ain't no puzzle game... It's something bad... this game is just math!
There could be some trick to it, but I did also feel like every time I was solving a puzzle, I didn't have a starting point or way to know which path was the correct one, which contributed to feel that I was making wild guesses almost at all times and made solving the puzzles not feel good. Feels like crossword puzzles where every single line can fit five seperate words.

Just go and buy whole hexcells trilogy tho!

I bought a lot of games based on furry theme and was just gonna check out what kind of fake game trash all of them were, but somehow this game has been made extremely competently! Almost feel like they should've priced this one or two dollars more just to differenciate them from the bottom of the barrel.
Well done artwork, really cohesive and nice looking menus, really responsive gameplay, writing is not deep but likeable, voice acting is not amazing, but fitting, etc. etc.

Overall felt like I had good time with the money I spend and always nice to see this level of polish on PC games.

Only issues were arising from Steam remote play together and Steam input, but I'm imagining that might be Unity engines rawinput shenanigans. Not sure if native steamworks multiplayer is actually hard to code or not.
