Our take on The Mirum
The clearest sticking point is the puzzle-only loop: players expecting combat will hit that limit immediately, while those who want challenges built around several gameplay systems may find little beyond solving 3D puzzles.
What is The Mirum?
The Mirum is a first-person puzzle game set in a surreal fairy-tale world.
A mage has made a pocket dimension and trapped people there to absorb their mental powers. The story follows a solitary seeker attempting to return to their own reality. Progress depends on solving puzzles in 3D spaces, viewed from a first-person perspective. There is no combat; the gameplay centers on working through the puzzles.
