This is a nice little walk through a museum showcasing some ways portal technology can be used to create interesting illusions in a video game. Borrowing and expanding upon the technology, it makes homage to Portal in the narrative style, but less of an action puzzle game it's more of a scenic walk exploring dream space. An enjoyable experience.

Early Access Review
This game refuses to provide you with an interesting challenge. If you find an enemy who's tough enough not to die in two hits, then 5 more will spawn between your ax and his face before you're finished fighting one. Partially because of the ridiculously near spawn distance, but partially because the enemy keeps derping out and wandering off to do ballerina dances between every strike.

The world is flat, boring, everywhere the same. Nowhere matters, and there's no point going anywhere, because everything you could find out hunting is just going to spawn inside your wall anyway. The gameplay consists of walking around for hours whacking trees and rocks and picking up stuff, and having derpy enemies spawn 2 feet behind you while you're in the menus. As a game, there's no goals, and as a simulation, there's not enough shape to the world out of which to make your own goals.

I think this could be a good game, with a few small tweaks, but in its current state I just can't enjoy it.

It's one of those facebook games where progression is based on how long you wait and gameplay consists of getting stuff ready to wait for. The combat consists of waiting for your ability cooldowns and wishing that you could order your archers to shoot something (but you can't because you have to wait on a cooldown since you already told some completely different archers to shoot something else). The objecive of the game is to gather resources so you can improve your infasructure so that you can raise an army that you can try using to keep yourself from getting bored while waiting to gather resources. Another great strategy is to play a different game to keep yourself from getting bored while waiting to gether resources, but then since you won't be needing those resources for anything since you won't be bored enough from playing this game to need an army to attempt to stave off that boredome, you might as well just not play this game to begin with.

On the plus side, it's kinda pretty. You can watch the little knights pace back and forth, and the birds fly in circles, and the peasants walking down a long road that leads nowhere, and a tiny little fisherman sitting on the lake in his little boat as he waits for the fish to bite.
