Description

Maquette is a first-person recursive puzzle game that takes you into a world where every building, plant, and object are simultaneously tiny and staggeringly huge. Maquette makes it possible by twisting the world into itself recursively in an MC Escher-esque fashion.

Head to the center of the world and you'll feel like a giant, towering over buildings and walls. But venture further out, and start to feel small as things get larger and larger - to the point where cracks in the ground become chasms.

In Maquette you will explore the scales of everyday problems in a modern-day love story. Where sometimes the smallest of issues can become insurmountable obstacles.

So. I should say I recommend Maquette. Lightly. I'll start by what I didn't like about the game. The backstory is really cringy AF. You can skip it, and I was surely off the bandwagon by the 2nd time I heard them. The concept is cool, But I feel better used in other games. Some puzzles are excellent, some puzzles are clunky. But the fun balance is there. I made it through the end in less than 5 hours looking two

terrible game but beautiful visuals; the story has good voice acting but glueing it together does not go well and feels artificial; it's similar in vibe to The witness which I also don't like, but nothing even close to Superliminal which is great and deals with similar mechanic of resizing objects; I returned it after the final nail in the coffin which was unblocking wall on the maquette to move through the big

I was really hoping this game would be similar to Superliminal. Only ever so slightly.... Not really sure if you need to be a romantic to enjoy this game? I mean I'm not made out of wood or anything but, dang this turkey blew. Surprised that i absolutely hated the characters from go considering they hired good talent. What's more than that was the actual gameplay that felt so sloooooow and rigid. the game gave up
