INNOVATIVE PUZZLES THAT ARE THE STORY
Each level sparks a little memory of the person’s life. It’s a two-part puzzle: a visual image of the memory and a telescopic text, that reveals itself with every step. You start with fragmented pieces of the picture and have to move them to restore the original image. In turn, telescopic text reacts to your every step – the closer you are to the solution, the more text unfolds. You are indeed remembering – adding details to the memory and forming a clear picture.
A DEEP AND MYSTERIOUS STORY
G30 is about memory and consciousness – and what they mean for a human being. There are people around who are losing their ability to remember – some kinds of mental diseases do that to a person. G30 shows how they see the world, how they feel about the past they can’t remember and the reality they can’t recognize.
Reviews
Pretty, but not very fun
Stee-rider
I’ve seen a lot of these stylish “contemplative” games, and they all seem to end up feeling more like a chore than a source of enjoyment. This one is okay, but quickly lost my interest. Not worth the price
Hooked!

I’m currently just a few puzzles in and I’m hooked! So far, this game seems worth the cost! Not to easy, not too difficult! Lookin forward to updates with more content for this one! Keep up the great work!
It turns into a glorified Rubix Cube
WrongPanda
The beginning of the game is interesting and it feels like it’s teaching you how to play it. Then it seems to just turn into a Rubix Cube (if you move this it moves that) except it’s unclear what the final “picture” is supposed to be. I tried to follow the clues in the text but it wasn’t very helpful. I’ll probably never finish it. If I wanted to solve a Rubix Cube I would’ve done it in 1980.
Genius, but too short

This game is a genius way to raise awareness about a disease that no one truly understands. Very well executed. Do the proceeds of this app go toward researching a cure? If so, I would say this game was worth the price. Otherwise, it’s much too short to purchase for $5. I finished the entire game in two days. This is an absolutely magnificent concept supporting a meaningful cause. I hope that you add more to keep the app current and the important message on people’s minds.
Decent game with a couple problems
Esc10
I enjoyed this game quite a bit. The story is fantastic and kept me interested. The puzzles were decent, but don’t get challenging until very late into the game. Sadly, this was after I had already lost interest in completing the puzzles and just wanted to find out how the story would wrap up. The music was ok at best. G30 has a single song that it plays on a loop and quickly became irritating after two hours into my playthrough. Overall, I think it’s worth a buy given the riveting story and intriguing mystery.
Compelling story and challenging gameplay
TripX2
G30 is a stunning example of interactive storytelling. The story is fixed; linear. However, the process of unlocking it is challenging enough to get the player invested in the rediscovery of the player character’s lost memories. As the game progresses, the clues pile up into a poignant story, climaxing in one final confirmation of what it hinted at before. The gameplay itself is quite pleasing and tactile. Early puzzles can be solved easily by trial and error; later ones require a bit of manipulation and significant attention to detail to boot. My only complaint is that the soundtrack becomes repetitive rather quickly, but its relatively inoffensive and shouldn’t discourage anyone from picking up this gem.

I hope you’re working on the next puzzle because this one is fantastic. More, please. And thank you! It is a beautiful game.
