    Waking Violet is by no means a bad game, but if you’re not a particularly patient person, it might be easy to mistake it for one.

    I would recommend Waking Violet to anyone interested in puzzlers. Its mechanics provide enough unique challenges to get a couple hours of mind-bending game play. That, plus the artwork and design makes this game well worth it.

    The puzzles and challenges encountered are well made and with a good difficulty.
