    Really bad. Random button pusher to see what happens. Maybe I'm not the intended audience, but I just don't get it and see nothing engaging whatsoever in my short amount of time spent on this. I don't think I've ever rated something a 1, but yeah, I got nothing out of this.

    This game feels like it is a puzzle game as much as it is a Design Student's final project. That's not a bad or a good thing, just an observation. The game is interesting, it has personality and a unique, fun aesthetic, but it's mostly just a showcase of visual and audio, using puzzle to lead you from one showcase to another.

    If you enjoy unskippable and boring cutscenes, bursting your eardrums because the game insists on having a jumpy volume (despite noise playing as a key clue for some puzzles), and random clicking to find the puzzle before you actually get to solve anything, then this game is perfect for you. If not, you'd be better off picking up a puzzle game that has good puzzles and a good story.

    Прикольная, залипательная, наркоманская хуйта.

    Overall a bad game with a lot of effort put into it. If you like puzzles, dont play this game as it doesnt provide any kind of meaningful story, nor develops any skills for its tasks. Its also really trippy and made to visually stand out. I cant say it works either way.

    An absolute visual and audio delight. I wish it were a bit longer, but as it stands it's short and sweet. Everything is presented to you pretty much wordlessly. It's absolutely like being a toddler again, being handed a new toy and nothing but your brain and your hands to figure out what it does and how to do it. Fiddle with a knob, push a pump, flip a lid, see how it does or doesn'tAn absolute visual and audio delight. I wish it were a bit longer, but as it stands it's short and sweet. Everything is presented to you pretty much wordlessly. It's absolutely like being a toddler again, being handed a new toy and nothing but your brain and your hands to figure out what it does and how to do it. Fiddle with a knob, push a pump, flip a lid, see how it does or doesn't react, maybe move on to a different piece if that one won't cooperate. The devs no doubt achieved what they set out to do, and I applaud them for that. I only wish I had a little more time with it all. Perhaps a sequel is in order? Admittedly the generally mixed user reviews dishearten me. I wish more people saw what I could see in this game.… Expand

    Neither really a game, nor an experience, GNOG is like a child's quest for discovery, and incorporates the wonder and charm you would expect from such an offering all through simplistic, almost minimalistic, design. It's so very fleeting, taking a mere hour to complete, but it's something that will stick with you for its terrific presentation and concept.

    GNOG is something of a mechanical puzzle game in that you solve the puzzles by manipulating various switches, knobs, sliders, and buttons, but the overall experience goes far beyond that. With a trippy art style reminiscent of the LSD-enhanced art of the 1960's and a unique musical sound, GNOG is a game that doesn't take itself too seriously and encourages you to just play with it, and maybe even solve a puzzle now and then.
