Summary
The All Living Things game was inspired by The Ripley Scroll, a 15th-century alchemical manuscript, and its developer, MOXO, describes it as an “animated art-book puzzle game”
Users navigate the game by clicking through an art book on a black background, which induces animations
There are 12 puzzles in total, with each puzzle representing a stage in the alchemical process
The Steam page for the game is vague about the puzzle’s mechanics, but a demo is due to be released on June 10th
What stands out to the writer is that it’s a finite game, with only 12 puzzles, and it’s aesthetically pleasing, which makes it sound like the ideal game to spend an evening engaging with and solving puzzles
