    Despite some excesses in the levels structure, and the evident low budget, The Spectrum Retreat is a real game design diamond, with a well-structured and engaging narration.

    Dan Smith begins his career with a fusion of walking simulator and a puzzle game that is quite attractive, but can still go deep much more.

    The color puzzles take place within specific sections of the hotel which make up an entirely new world and aesthetic. It makes me wonder why they couldn’t have been left well alone, to fend for themselves, without this clunky narrative device. It’s a good demonstration of the difficulty inherent in grafting story and character together, so wonderfully achieved by the inclusion of GlaDOS in Portal, but missed here, by a long way. But for all its faults, The Spectrum Retreat is a decent puzzle game at a reasonable price.

    The Spectrum Retreat may be the perfect holiday resort, but I can’t really say I’ve enjoyed my stay.

В игре есть сюжет, но он скучен и банален. В игре очень плохой гейм дизайн. Вы эпилептик? Игра доведет вас до приступа сто процентов (постоянные вспышки, мерцающие текстуры(да да, это не глитчи это гейм дизайн такой) резкие смены цветов). Не игра, а нервотрепка сплошная. Брать только бесплатно, но играть не обязательно. Во такой вот токсичный отзыв. Извините, по-другому про плохие игры не могу. Один плюс есть - на ее прохождение нужно всего лишь 6 часов.… Full Review »
