“Has great puzzles. Not too hard, not too easy, but creative. As you can see it has a great artstyle. I feel like the base game itself really respects your time, which is hard to find nowadays. Would recommend to anyone…”

“Great game that's very unique, but also very very short. I'd recommend getting it while it's on sale, would have been disappointed in the length of the game if I got it for $15 but it's worth it on sale.”
“Very short (about an hour for a single playthrough) but very unique and original puzzle game, would 100% recommend”

“Very good and original but wayyy too short to justify the price. I would suggest getting it on sale only.”
“Pretty chill puzzle game with a mysterious story unravelling as you play through the levels, maybe a bit more worthwhile when on sale!”

“I think the idea for this is very interesting, reminds me a little bit of Storyteller, but it's just not fun when most of the time it's a guessing game. Sure, there's some logical parts to it - thematical, which lead…”

“Built around the concept of dimensions, Gorogoa weaves its story thru a 4-panel comic format. The puzzles hit just the right difficulty, the art style feels warmly familiar, and 2 narrative threads intertwine into a complete worldview. Its steeped in a religious atmosphere art…”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“Gorogoa is basically a piece of interactive art. The puzzles are super clever and rely on perspective in ways I haven’t seen before. It’s short, but every moment feels thoughtfully crafted. Definitely worth playing if you want something unique and a bit mind-bending.”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“This was a good game. It took me a hot minute to sort out how to do it and once I did, it picked up from there with it getting progressively harder. The fourth level was actually the hardest but this was great! Wish there were more like this. It really made me think! The story…”
