60 of 71 · most liked firstI was looking forward to this game, but unfortunately I cannot recommend it. I completely beat the game in 2 hours, and the puzzles were not very engaging. Although I love the world design and the art, there just wasn't enough in story or the puzzles to justify the price for me. Additionally, there was a completely game breaking bug right before the end where getting out of the mag train my camera was spinning and I lost control of the cursor and couldn't move. I reloaded the game and it had…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a little surprised at the harsh criticism against Kredolis. I think many were expecting something similar to Witness and much more challenge than this game offers. Others have had issues with saving or bugs in the early days of release. I had no problems with saving or controls. I would liken this to a walking simulator with escape room mechanics. Puzzles range from easy to obscure but all doable with some thinking. It is a short game, so buy on a deep sale as I did. This is a tale of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly underwhelming from what looked like a nice aesthetically pleasing puzzle game. Off the bat, the performance is incredibly ropey. I immediately had to downgrade to MEDIUM settings (i9-9900, GTX 2070S) because high settings would only get me 45-50fps. The artistic design is very nice and pleasing to look at and the music is quite calming and peaceful but it's constantly interrupted by the excessively loud footstep sounds. The mouse controls are also irritating a lot of the time when…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Go play The Talos Principle or The Witness before this :)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game looked promising with Myst-like puzzles, The Witness-like graphics and storytelling similar to The Talos Principle, but the puzzles felt either too easy or obtuse and uninspired, making you question what you're supposed to do as opposed to how to do it, the story fell flat and barely lasted 2 hours. I'm not a fan of the fake Greek lettering mixed with Roman numerals either. I could not recommend this game at a price of 10€, let alone 20.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Style resembles The Witness. Gameplay resembles Myst. Puzzles are very easy at first, but absurdly obscure later. Some of them don't make any sense. The story not is really engaging or believable, and falls apart right when you are presented with the nuke bomb... Last encounter is very awkward... I don't think it worth the price, to be completely fair.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good game. The visuals are incredibly beautiful, the sounds are immersive. I sank headlong into it for several hours. The puzzles are great, not too hard, but not too easy either. It was a lot of fun to solve them, although not always the first time! Most of all I liked the story. Intriguing and interesting until the very end. She grabs you and doesn't let go. Oh yeah!! You need to spend a couple of hours in Kredolis. Trust me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Kredolis" is a very short (about 3h) first-person adventure game with beautiful low-poly graphics, a somewhat interesting but very derivative story, and fairly nonsensical puzzles that can only be solved through trial and error. 1. Story & Setting You are shipwrecked on an idyllic small island that sports various buildings and machines from an unknown ancient civilization (which soon turns out to be Atlantis), as well as modern installations left behind by a research team that has since…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such an amazing game. Puzzles were moderate to easy, story is a bit short but really set it up for a potential future release. Graphics and music was fantastic. Worth the price even for 2-3 hours of gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like games like this, Myst was one of my favourite games of that era. This game had some potential but doesn't live up to it. First the graphics. resolution tops out at something much too low for a game released in late 2022, this isn't the end of the world, but it's just one of the smallest of many issues in this game. There are issues with how it renders for me, lines through everything diagonally across my screen that don't exist in any other game. Some of the graphical issues made it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If the game worked I think it would be fun. But it doesn't. If you intend to play it, set aside enough time to play the entire game in one sitting, If you save your game in either the second or third save slots, when you try to load it later you will in the water and you cannot get out. Or, If you make it to the underground areas, the mining car disappears and you can't go on anyway. I don't see any patches on the Steam site so I guess I'll wait until they become available. Buy it and try it at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent, but very short first person puzzle adventure game (took me 108 minutes to complete, accidentally got all achievements too). Has some interesting puzzles I've not seen used often and has a decent, if a bit too forced, atmosphere/world storytelling. It's clear that the devs wanted to make a bigger game but probably ran out of funding making it. The credits say "To be continued", so who knows, maybe they'll make a continuation some day. Get it if you're a fan of the genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The positives: This game is very bright and colorful with an interesting looking environment The negatives: The controls when interacting with a lot of puzzles is awful. The camera might jump to face the ceiling when trying to move a lever, or it might not let you actually move that lever the entire way you are supposed to on the first few tries. Some of the puzzles are glitchy and don't "solve" despite having all the right bits in place in the right order, meaning you have to completely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a beautiful relaxing game. Could be longer but I enjoyed every minute of Kredolis
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All in all, I enjoyed it. A bit short and the puzzles aren't particularly complex but it was a good experience nonetheless.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game!! Disagree that it is too small, for me it was ideal in duration. The plot is gripping and I really enjoyed the ending. Puzzles made me sweat sometimes but when I solved them I experienced a real pleasure. I love it in games, thank you, Kredolis
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is just barely worth a playthrough if you're really interested, but it's not worth $20. I would maybe recommend buying it on sale for like $5. The puzzles were not very engaging; as someone else pointed out, they are extremely easy in the beginning and then become strangely obscure later, with little to no sense of continuity between the puzzle mechanics. The story was also not engaging, which is unfortunate because the aesthetics/theme of the game offer a great potential base for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game made me commit nuclear fallout
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very beautiful and atmospheric game with not too difficult puzzles and a mysterious story. I recommend it to those who love puzzles and haven't been on vacation in a long time. I really hope for a sequel.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was hesitant to buy this game due to some of the bad reviews on here but after buying it on sale and playing it I couldn't believe how harsh some people are being for a pretty decent puzzle adventure game. I didn't have any serious bugs and had to play with the display settings a bit to get it right but other than that it was solid. I didn't find the puzzles too easy as a lot of people said. Some require a bit of outside the box thinking which is what we all want in a game like this. Only…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kredolis is a pretty good adventure game with escape-room like puzzle mechanics. The puzzles were a mix of moderate and easy. There was, however, one puzzle towards the end that was pretty badly clued (by consensus, based on a couple of different threads in the Steam discussion group) that I needed help with. The game is quite pretty and has good production values, and it was pleasant to be immersed in that world. I had no problem running it on in full screen on my widescreen 4K monitor…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed this quite a bit! It is short, but the art and story is very well done, and I think the puzzles were perfectly balanced for me. Not too tough and not too easy. I look forward to playing the next game whenever you make it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →-The open-world environment is beautiful. Colorful, lush, and a joy to look at and wander through. -Quite a bit of puzzle solving is required to complete this short-ish game, some of it obtuse but not all of it was difficult. Besides, there are walkthroughs and hints online (Steam or youtube, etc) if you get stuck. I would say it took me about 2+ hours from start to finish, maybe more because I didn't want to depend on walkthroughs. I HAD to rely on a WT for one of the puzzles. -Voice acting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super reminiscent of Myst. The puzzles were pretty uneven. Some were very clever others were bizarre. But overall the presentation was a master class. The ambiance was comparable to Myst but with a stronger sense of place without losing any of the surreal wonder that I would consider a hallmark of that game. I'd strongly recommend this game. Be prepared for some frustrating patches, and be sure to check your environment thoroughly, even if it doesn't make intuitive sense. Overall the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to give Kredolis a try hoping it was akin to games like the Myst series and The Witness (honestly it's literally got a Myst lighthouse and the graphical style similar to The Witness which I love), it's been sitting in my wish list for a while. But the combination of near linear series of puzzles, and puzzles that range from extremely simple (hunt for the randomly but obviously placed and easy to see because they're out of place hints to enter into a keypad) to extreme precision…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Erm, little on the fence, it was fun, just story was in rambles and little too short for the price. However I suppose good effort I guess for everything else.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My thought: RAW. I could deal with visual bugs, but when I got softlocked by being teleported back to the starting location from a closed mine, that's when I decided I don't want to force myself anymore. It's just a set of uninspired puzzles and "a story". Great for a solo project, a developer's portfolio, but not as a separate product.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked this game. The story was interesting, although I was completely lost until the end. The scrolls and notes were on the cryptic side. I liked progression based on how many batteries you had and I also Iiked the puzzles for the most part. I also enjoyed the adventure. I never got a bug while playing. Hope there is a continuation:)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed my time on Kredolis. The artstyle is beautiful and cozy, the puzzles had me thinking but never to the point where it got frustrating. The foreshadowing with the burning lighthouse also had me intrigued to get in there and find out what happened. It was all over a bit too fast though because I wanted more :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the game, it had some fun puzzles. Nothing particularly challenging, a couple of puzzles weren't well signposted and took a couple tries to understand what it wanted me to do. The story is pretty short, and the price is a little steep for so ~2h of content. If it goes on sale, give it a go.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed this game a lot. The art style was great and the music was awesome, i found my self flying thew some puzzles and a bit stumped on others. over all i would say this is a great game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautifully done
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →goodish puzzle game.. 2 puzzles completely impossible to figure out. finished game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game little bit short for the price but jep
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good puzzle game. It's a bit short considering the price of the game but in the end it's really good. The graphics are amazing and the puzzles are not too difficult but not too easy either. Would recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Almost all the puzzles are pretty lame, mostly fall into one of these categories: You instantly figure it out but then spend time tediously executing the solution, or there is a number written on the wall and you need to input that number on a nearby machine (4-digit keypad, morse code puzzle, sundial clock) The puzzle is so obtuse you don't even know it's a puzzle, or there is an unsuspecting intractable hidden in the environment (lions eyes, fuseboxes) The puzzle is so cryptic…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was looking forward to a new puzzle game in the Myst genre, but this missed the mark and seemed rushed to be published when more work was needed. If you can look past the few bugs like random color splotches that are out-of-place and transport systems seeming to leave without you causing you to need to reload the game, this could be a good title except that it was pretty short and only was challenging when applying the solution required more guidance. The puzzle elements were lacking in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a pretty game. Puzzles are okay, some are more clever than others, some make more sense than others. A few had to be forced. But made by one guy, I'd say it's an achievement. I appreciated the Riven reference, I noticed it the second I saw that minecart track. And maybe a Quern reference with the chairs by the underwater window towards the end near the deluge? Unfortunately, my view got stuck on the tram switch and was locked, so I couldn't watch the tram ride. That was a bummer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While Gorgeous, Kredolis offers very little in terms of what I want or expect out of a puzzle game. There are numerous color-based puzzles, which are unsolvable for color-blind individuals. Hints are one-time pickups, rather than inscriptions on walls, so if you pick them up while wandering around its hard to remember which one went to where, and there's a dozen red-herring text dialogues that aren't puzzle hints at all. Keys belong to only one specific lock but they aren't marked at all so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had a lot of promise and potential. Ultimately fell flat, the puzzles were either too easy or artificially made difficult by being obtuse at times. For example: Here's a series of buttons, here's the pattern of buttons to press. Oh that didn't work???? mirror it. Come on!. Here's a battery charger, doesn't charge batteries, but some other thing does. Seriously let down on this one. The dev has potential though. It was almost enjoyable, and if they read this....dude, keep trying. You're on the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game, and I mean that sincerely. I love the vibes and the puzzles are just the right amount of challenging. That said, I literally Could Not finish it due to bugs. The minecart disappeared when I booted up my save today, and when I looked online for a possible fix, the download link for the fixed ZIP file was broken. Tried to start a new save, only this time the stepping stone puzzle was broken. :/ Sorry, devs, I gave it the ol' college try
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could've been great puzzle game if it it wasnt so buggy. I think i got hardlocked into the first underwater room with roman numeric pillars. Couldn't put the power supply back into the machine after taking it out. Save and load system doesnt work properly either so i couldnt jump to previous save.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun 2-3 hour game with some not overly complex puzzles. Grab it on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only partway through, but it's a good puzzle game. It definitely gives the same kind of vibe as Myst, but doesn't feel like a copycat, just the same genre of game. The puzzles aren't too tricky and the story is interesting! My only complaint is how many letters you find all at once, and only some of them are helpful for puzzles, so that is a little annoying, but it doesn't ruin the game for me. Overall, a nice puzzle game with a solid story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game,some puzzles hard to understand. Had to look at walkthru a few times, but well done. I enjoyed it. Some people can't be patient that is why bad reviews.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game, and it visually is very appealing, however the puzzle design is greatly lacking. It is much more on the level of flash point and click game's of the 00's than any good modern puzzle game. Would work better as a walking sim than a puzzle game tbh
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sure this is a lovely game, and I was very much looking forward to it. However... I admit I run a slightly older laptop but I have never had any issues with graphics heavy games before. Games like The Witness, Superliminal, and Call of the Sea are smooth as butter. But no matter what settings I chose, I had problems with the controls. Movement was choppy, and the in-game menu wouldn't respond 9/10 times I clicked on the book. This made the game sadly unplayable for me. I'll wait to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two things: - I got the copy for free and my opinion is biased; - and I am in no way an aficionado of Myst-like games. So. I have not finished the game yet and went in purely out of curiosity about it's story. So far story seems good, some puzzles are easy, for some I Alt-Tab to walkthrough, as the urge to get further is way bigger than love towards puzzle-solving. I entertain myself with "aha!" moments after looking up the answer - that doesn't take away the enjoyment. As I find time now…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is pretty and all, but the story is kind of strange and actions doesn't always make sense. The puzzles are mostly very childish and the solution is almost always spelled out for you. The only trouble this game will give you is when mechanics are not explained for you, Like when you spend 99% of the time clicking levers and buttons with the mouse, but suddenly you have to operate a lever with the W key... took longer to figure that one out than any of the puzzles in the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No real puzzles, to easy and short. Bad story.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent value for money - I've had at least 4 hours of enjoyment which is less than 1 GBP per hour as I got it on offer. Hard to beat although the puzzles are not too complex it's still really nice to go through and solve everything. Definitely worth a try!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A puzzle game for puzzle game enthusiasts. You can really see the inspirations in the gameplay, and style. It's fun, a little challenging.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well. I appreciate the years of passion went into the project, and there's much to be proud of in the result. It's a very short but coherent puzzle game with enchanting level design. The Myst and The Witness inspiration is quite obvious. Alas, it does not work very well as a game. The puzzles are just not very satisfying. A few are too tedious, involving trial and error, rinse and repeat. And two pattern-matching puzzles made no sense to me at all. Worst is the need for pixel-perfect clicks.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Someone really loved LOST while making this game. A Myst / Witness like exploration puzzle game, took me about 2.5 hrs to complete. While I did run across a few bugs, and trouble with some of the puzzles, most of the time I knew what I was doing, and enjoyed the puzzles. One person made this game according to Steam's Discussion board, so I can understand having a few bugs here and there. Sometimes a button I pressed didn't work then randomly worked, and for some people I read, achievements…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i enjoyed most of the puzzles but not all and i liked the setting the sounds were great if not for the loud footsteps. thier is alot to improve on but over all very well done
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recommend it for those who want to relax a little after work and want to enjoy some scenery & atmosphere. I liked walking around enjoying the scenery and getting the story told via the narrated letters. The puzzles are more a flavor than a challenge. Engaging enough to prevent you from speed running as if they weren't there. Not so difficult to block the game's progress*. Some puzzles I really liked ** I personally am looking forward to part 2. *) Except one puzzle the thumper puzzle with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*TIP* Once you get inside the maglev tram, sit in the seat before you press the lever. Also, save your game before you go inside the tram just in case. I got bugged 2 times (in April 2024) and had to reload my game twice before I accidentally sat in the seat when I miss clicked the lever. Once seated, I pressed the lever and did not get bugged (ymmv). I feel like the game should prevent you from pressing the lever before you are seated... unless that is some mean puzzle added on purpose. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not as good as Myst but Kredolis offers a fun playthrough in a puzzle filled world that looks good and definitely has a Myst vibe to it. It is a great game to finish in one or two sittings.
