May 15, 2024Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is an amalgamation of influences living alongside one another in the same way the hotel in which it is set seems to hold so many times at once. It’s a reflection of the game’s biggest questions. What is the point of creating and consuming art? Is it a curse, or a gift? That’s the big mystery at the heart of Lorelia and the Laser Eyes. The answer is up to interpretation, but as it exists within such a carefully crafted maze of twisting puzzles and story beats, I can only assume this kind of gift for creating art is just that, a gift. And we, the players, are its lucky recipients. At least that’s my perception of it, and that’s about as close to the truth as I’ll get.

May 15, 2024It can be very easy for a puzzle game as complex as Lorelei and the Laser Eyes to get frustrating, and I’ve certainly felt that a bunch. But it’s never pushed me past that point and made me quit. Despite its madness, I know the logic’s there. I’ve just got to find the right perspective. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes may have broken my brain, but somehow, it has then rebuilt my brain into something even stronger.
