    Though it’s over far too soon, Repressed offers a satisfying series of challenging yet fair puzzles throughout a unique visual journey that tells a heartbreaking but surprisingly hopeful story of a wounded soul.

    This strange exploration of human psyche fails, and it fails completely. The basic game mechanics are wrong, therefore the interesting concept and all the artistic merit become wholly irrelevant.

    Repressed is a unique idea with clever visuals, and that can go a long way in video games. When it comes to gameplay, though, Repressed is very patchy with regards to putting out top tier quality puzzles, with long stretches of ambling through the ether. Added to a story that doesn’t do anything fresh within its hidden memories, Repressed feels like something of a missed opportunity.

    Conceptually, Repressed is exactly the type of game that appeals to me. Delving into the repressed depths of the mind provides plenty of opportunities to tell an immensely profound and intriguing story. In practice, however, Repressed is actually quite bland and uninteresting. Mechanically uninventive and stylistically dull, there was little that kept me engaged besides the passable but rudimentary story. Repressed is hard to recommend for anyone besides those that are completely sold on the minimalist aesthetic or a limited creative concept.
