INNOVATIVE PUZZLES THAT ARE THE STORY

Each level sparks a little memory of the person’s life. It’s a two-part puzzle: a visual image of the memory and a telescopic text, that reveals itself with every step. You start with fragmented pieces of the picture and have to move them to restore the original image. In turn, telescopic text reacts to your every step – the closer you are to the solution, the more text unfolds. You are indeed remembering – adding details to the memory and forming a clear picture.

A DEEP AND MYSTERIOUS STORY

G30 is about memory and consciousness – and what they mean for a human being. There are people around who are losing their ability to remember – some kinds of mental diseases do that to a person. G30 shows how they see the world, how they feel about the past they can’t remember and the reality they can’t recognize.

### 4/5 — Very nice but

*2024-09-13, version 1.3*

Another game where protagonist wakes up after being in some kind of institution with amnesia.

### 5/5 — Puzzle game

*2024-04-28, version 1.3*

It’s quite hard when you start but when you touch it you can not stop solving it.

### 5/5 — An actually magical experience

*2024-01-26, version 1.3*

Gameplay is perfectly simple,  but the way it moves a central narrative forward and builds on previous ideas is nothing short of magical.

What a brilliant game.

### 5/5 — :)

*2022-12-18, version 1.3*

Trippy game, not your average app
Effort went into this

### 5/5 — Need to urgent update

*2021-04-12, version 1.2.2*

Pls add full support to 12 inch iPad Pro screens

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2020-12-21, version 1.2.2*

It has some great gameplay and relaxing music. So far I've been through 10 levels and they all were great to play

### 4/5 — Grammar check

*2020-01-25, version 1.2.2*

Why is this game if the day? It came out years ago. 

Old review: Decent puzzle game. The ending falls short because of sloppy editing. “there is no exceptions” should’ve been “there are no exceptions.” Or “there is no exception.” I know. It’s a stupid thing to comment on. Otherwise, the game is an interesting method for raising awareness.

### 1/5 — Way too short

*2020-01-06, version 1.2.2*

There was like 5 puzzles. Not worth the money

### 2/5 — What am I missing?

*2020-01-03, version 1.2.2*

Can you even call this a game? You spin the design around until it matches a predetermined shape which unlocks some sort of very poetic hard to follow text story. It’s incredibly repetitive. I don’t get it. Little to no direction while playing makes it even more boring. What is my goal? What is the point?

### 4/5 — Really cool game

*2019-12-01, version 1.2.2*

Enjoyable experience
