Now you can't see me

⠀

"Now you can't see me" is a rather obtuse and esoteric puzzle game with some rather deplorably low technical delivery quality. With puzzle games the mechanics are generally well understood, but how to use them to solve the problem is where the puzzle fits in. Here, well, working out how to play the game is part of the puzzle... but I see that as just poor game design.

Ever heard of "simple to learn, difficult to master"? The developer of this didn't, that's for sure. Couple that with the really poor game assets and low quality delivery and this is a miss.

The blinking thing in the game is incredibly annoying, too.

Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game.

Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming idustry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable.

Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 6 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it.

Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it?

Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost youany money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, that's nothing.

Cool puzzle(!) game with unique set of gameplay mechanics. After completing the game you can play again in speedrun mode with world leaderboard. Thinking out a faster way to complete a level reveals the possibilites of the game a little more and is also pretty fun.
