With no written or voiced narrative, you embark on a quest of enlightenment, or so one would assume. After following a pair of flying lights, through a world that unfolds before you, your introduced to the games main concept, the are two worlds, light and dark. The first "ability" you are shown is the fire, which when touched lets you see the 'dark world' and the differences between for a short time. This time is reduced as you move around, and has a very limited distance you can take it. Every puzzle in the game, revolves around this mechanic, as anything you need to interact with, is only usable in this state. the main, and most used puzzle piece are the statues, that you can swap places with while in the dark world, and the swap can be made from anywhere you can see the statue from. Some of your paths can only be crossed while in the dark world, so every move is an attempt to make your way to the exit, and on to the next area. New interactions are added slowly, then blended together to provide a building challenge from puzzle to puzzle. The scenery and visualizations are absolutely stunning, and the statues along your path silently tell you a story. Problem-solvers rejoice because these puzzles will make you think, a lot, inside and outside of the box, the entire game. The Sojourn is a beautifully executed game that will be enjoyed greatly by those who like challenging puzzles, and intricate visualizations. Expand

    The Soujourn is a beautiful game with great puzzles and ideas. However, it lacks more innovation in its mechanics towards the end, which might make it feel a little bit tedious.

    The Sojourn offers some complex and interesting first-person puzzles, but it all happens in a too repetitive world and without offering enough rewards for the player, with a very skinny plot. It's still a decent puzzle game, but it fails to be something really memorable.

    The Sojourn blends interesting puzzles with a strong narrative. There are a couple of issues but they shouldn't ruin the overall enjoyment.
