Short but promising – XON Episode One Review

I loved this game. The scenery was beautiful and the puzzle was somewhat challenging while not being ridiculously recondite. My only nearly negative comment isn't really negative. It's just to recognize that, with only one puzzle to solve, the game was very short. The reason this isn't really a complaint is that it was free. I think it is being given away as a sample of what the series has to offer: what the developers are capable of, like a hint at good things to come. I think I'll buy the second episode (it's listed now for only $1.99). If that proves to be equally brief (the first took me about 30-minutes to solve), then I might have to reconsider my praises. But I've seen enough here to make it seem worthwhile to invest further.
