I love Glitch games, I love the stories, the care and humor in the writing, the puzzles. I have bought every single one they charged for. This is the first game of theirs that has ever felt tedious at some point. The triangle, circle, square boxes, and the timing felt, for me, like jumping through hoops. I love challenging puzzles but this part was finicky and annoying. I haven’t finished the game yet because of it and possibly I’ve stopped caring? Glitch is one of the best creators of adventure
I just don’t want to do the same puzzles over and over again to get back to where I was each time I tap something that ends the game. Some might like that. I prefer to just be able to explore without worrying about having to redo everything.
I have followed Glitch games for years and get so excited when new games come out. This one is a “miss” for me, though. I hate having to do the same tasks over and over. I don’t think I have it in me to finish this one.
Wow what a mind bender! It lost me a little at the end but 5 stars!
The more I ran through the time loops on this game, the more I remembered the different code sequences. I remembered a lot more than I thought I would, and by pushing buttons in an intuitive way, I felt much more immersed in the game. The sound track helped too, although I turned it off after a while. (It was in my head all day the next day.) Having the time loops made a much different experience and added some adrenaline to an otherwise mostly intellectual puzzle solving game. Love!
i loved it. such a great twist on this type of game. had a blast playing it. however i let the song play way too many times. i just refused to turn it off at the start of every loop out of spite. and now i will hear it in my dreams forever. i have regrets.
The timed element is a bit unsettling at first, but the camera is a lifesaver. Took me a couple of hours to complete; I just wish it had been longer!
I love GlitchGames, all of them. This has everything Glitch, great environments, humor, super puzzles. The only thing I don’t enjoy about this game is “the race against time” theme. You can’t relax, take your time and enjoy looking around. Wish they gave you at least a 20 minute option. That might help.
I have purchased all of the Glitch games over the years and they are honestly my favorite developer but this one is not enjoyable in that you can’t take the time to figure things out. I’m sure that’s the goal here but PLEASE make more like the good ol’ days, GLITCH!!!
Equal parts number and wordplay, this one was incredibly fun. (Only a couple of moments where we reeeeeaallllly needed those hints.) Love the Veritas world!
So I don’t know if this is part of the game, but I am stuck in the elevator and I’m pretty sure it’s a bug.
Have been playing Glitch Games for years. Another great puzzle, I wish it were longer!
Glitch is one of the best developers out there, and this game is another fun and unique experience. It’s shorter than many of their games, but still took me most of a day to solve and was well worth the money. My only problem with Glitch is that they don’t put out games fast enough, leaving me to compulsively check their website all year to see when I can get my next fix. Love, love, love you guys.
.. it makes all the difference. Timed play just isn’t why I became a Glitch fan in the first place. Timing didn’t feel like your signature somehow. This is much better. Loving the updated version!
Love Glitch! Interesting concept in this game, I started at three minutes for the first two sections, but went to ten minutes for the third. I always use the camera, but in this game it was needed! Love their humor, but the logic and challenges are perfect for my level of play which I would say is slightly advanced. Can’t wait for the next!
Gosh, another 2 chapters and it would have been perfect!
Thank you so much for updating the game to include this setting! 🙏 Loving the game now! Five stars 🤗 **** As a person with ADD, this setting with the timer gives me anxiety and I don’t want to play. Otherwise it’s a good game so far.

I love Glitch games, just not this one. I gave up on the first chapter when I realized it was more of a platformer type game where you “die” and repeat the same steps over and over. I seek out point and click adventure games for this very reason…I hate repetitive arcade games.
Glitch is the master of these kind of games but they missed on this one. The puzzles are great but having to start over each time becomes really irritating. I tried playing a second time with UNLIMITED time on the clock but even with that the game is designed where you have to purposely go back to the beginning to finish the puzzles. In my opinion, that is just not a good idea. I’m looking forward to their next release I hope they go back to the Forever Lost design. That series is legendary.
I own every glitch game and on preorder;I love them, especially the early ones. But this is the first game I could t finish. Something about having to go back to the start and redo puzzles killed it for me to the point that I abandoned it…personally I’d prefer not to have to revisit puzzles done. In a side note I also love the range and creativity of the earlier games… of late they all seem to be sort of all industrial looking… but excited to play fragile mind now!
I’ve played every Glitch game except a couple now I think and I’ve loved them all for the most part. I got to chapter 3 with some walkthrough help and then had to watch a walkthrough video to get through the boxes and finally get that keycard. Went to the elevator, inserted the keycard and then died doing the puzzle. The thought of having to go through all that again and maybe again just to get the keycard is too much for me. I like a challenging game but you also need to feel like you’re ac
