That is not to say this is just a visual novel, quite the contrary. Gorogoa is yet another indie game that is leading the charge to show the world that games are a legitimate art form. Although there are more possibilities as you progress into the second half of the game you should never feel too overwhelmed as often you'll only have so many possible combinations at any given time. Maybe there are rocks falling in a panel could you place a specific panel below the rock panel and carry the rocks into a new setting. If you can find a panel that has an empty door that fits that same space then he can proceed to walk into a new area. For example there may be a panel with an empty sphere which can be dragged over a different panel with a star do that and the sphere will turn into a light blub. Its up to you to rearrange and layer the comic panels in order to progress the game. The entire game is played on a two by two grid with a varying number of spaces filled in at any one time. So to help the boy find these objects you'll have to put on your thinking cap because these comic panels are a bit puzzling. The story is told with no dialog so much of what happens is really up to the player's interpretation. Every orb appears to be related to a certain time and state of mind of the boy as he grew up. Time is all relative in this game as you'll come across older versions of the boy and see them in varying circumstances. This sparks a life long obsession with him in which you must help him track down these orbs. Once he finds the right page he sees an image of two people offering a bowl of five different colored orbs to the creature. The boy flips through his encyclopedia to find an entry on this creature in which he has become quite fascinated with. Gorogoa starts when a young boy looks out of his window and sees what appears like a very colorful version of something like a Chinese dragon. It may not be a particularly long but it packs so much wow factor in that short time its definitely worth the price of admission. This helps make Gorogoa one of the most original and often mind-bending puzzle games I've ever played. The game does feel like a combination of a four panel comic and a sliding puzzle as you move images around your screen. If you look at still images of this game you may be fooled into thinking its a comic book.
Having played through it I can now say but those elements are clear through out the whole experience. Gorogoa first caught my attention with its gorgeous art style and better still it seemed to be very well received by critics. By bumblebug | Review Date: November 10, 2020
