    The Sojourn is a nice gentle puzzler.
    There is nothing ground breaking about it, and nothing too taxing.
    Puzzles are all built around a similar theme; a manipulation of Dark and Light by transporting in and out of two alternate worlds, one of which reveals hidden paths.

    Puzzles are all built around a similar theme; a manipulation of Dark and Light by transporting in and out of two alternate worlds, one of which reveals hidden paths. There is a lot of repetition in the gameplay, and although as you progress, there are different dynamics added to change things up, it all stays pretty samey. This is both a blessing and a curse: the riffing on a theme helps the gentle relaxing pastime of puzzle solving, but also means it can be at times empty sterile and boring.
    There is a backstory which is neither here nor there and some homesy philosophical musings that are just as meh.
    Half the puzzles are fun to solve. a quarter are frustrating, and the final quarter ( if my maths is right) are a walk in the park.

    The Sojourn manages to engage the player thanks to a creative puzzle system that stays fresh and deepens to the maximum level as it introduces new elements.

    A beautiful, nicely crafted puzzle game draped in a dream-like atmosphere and filled with appropriately difficult mysteries. It’s a shame that it will probably annoy you by its failed attempts to tell a deep story and wax philosophical.

    While intentionally vague on backstory, The Sojourn provides a solitary journey through relaxing vistas littered with enjoyably mind-bending navigational puzzles.
