    Some might end up thinking that this game gets repetitive after a while — because, well, it does. But in my view, that’s the point. It’s a predictable, comforting game that’s kept interesting by the silly overarching storyline involving Postwoman Sam and her oversharing with Wilmot, and the puzzles do seem to get more challenging as the game progresses. If you like A Little to the Left, Wilmot Works it Out is a must-play that’ll keep you busy until it doesn’t. And at that point, take a break and return when you’re ready for a nice solved-puzzle dopamine hit once again.

    At the end of it all, my decisions in Wilmot's house felt less meaningful, less driven by my internal ideas about the world, less personal, and less rewarding than in our last meeting. It's a quieter game, about turning down the knob in your brain that says "categorise". That makes it both more chill as a task and less interesting as a game. If the Warehouse is a strong mug of hot coffee, Works It Out is a delicate cup of jasmine tea. Both are comforting, but I find one more stimulating than the other.
