Description

Maquette is a first-person recursive puzzle game that takes you into a world where every building, plant, and object are simultaneously tiny and staggeringly huge. Maquette makes it possible by twisting the world into itself recursively in an MC Escher-esque fashion.

Head to the center of the world and you'll feel like a giant, towering over buildings and walls. But venture further out, and start to feel small as things get larger and larger - to the point where cracks in the ground become chasms.

In Maquette you will explore the scales of everyday problems in a modern-day love story. Where sometimes the smallest of issues can become insurmountable obstacles.

The puzzles were full of personality, and their concepts and presentation were excellent. However, the overall design, controls, and narrative felt somewhat lacking. The game had the potential to be amazing, but

Maquette, developed by Graceful Decay and published by Annapurna Interactive, is a first-person puzzle adventure built around a singular, poetic idea: a world nested inside itself, endlessly repeating in shifting

Nice concept, good art, good storyline. Worth the effort. But...lots of glitches, 3D issues, movement issues. And uneven puzzles, some trivial, couple with a trick needing a dip into a walkthrough.

A good puzzle game using recursion mechanics a la A Fisherman's Tale. Nothing super groundbreaking, but still enjoyable. I found myself stuck on one of the puzzles and the "soultion" I came up with was somewhat janky,

I thought this would be a nice lighthearted puzzle game. A couple hours later, it's tugging at my heartstrings, and making me melancholy over my life's choices. Still a fun puzzle game, though.

Clever puzzles that stumped me, beautiful visuals and music, fascinatingly unique mechanics. The story itself was average and there was one puzzle near the end that bugged and made it really hard to interact with, but
