60 of 78 · most liked firstWaited for this game for a long time and it is worth it! The game is beautiful and has an amazing art style. It is full of precisely balanced puzzles and it is much changed from the last demo I had a chance to play. It has a unique cozy atmosphere created with a symbiosis of art, music, and story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Couldn't sleep, so I finished this adorable game - Puzzles for Clef made by Ukrainian devs Weasel Token.🐰🌸✨ Highly recommend to anyone who just wants to spend some chill time in beautiful locations AND exercise your brain a little.🤭 Wonder if I'll manage 100% achievements.🤔
unlabelledView post →the game - nice and relaxing the art - top notch work the sound design - great work would i recommend? definitely!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really thought I would enjoy this more based on the store page and opening chapters, but it has some significant problems that really become obvious around chapter 3. First, despite the charm of the game's artwork and music, the gameplay is just tedious: the player character moves and acts rather slowly, the environments can be quite large (and lack maps), and many puzzles and quests require backtracking. Second, the puzzles are not particularly good or consistent in difficulty. I enjoyed…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PROS + The cosy vibes are absolutely on point. Seriously, the art direction in this game is out of this world. The characters, environment and diary, that acts as a sort of quest-/hintlog, are just stunning, the writing is heartwarming and sweet and the sounddesign pleasing. I play a lot of games in my freetime and while I often appreciate artstyle and atmosphere, this game really stands out to me in those regards. That alone is worth getting it in my opinion! + Puzzles are varied and mostly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was originally excited to play this but I can't recommend it. the core puzzles end up being tedious in their execution and I feel a lot of back tracking and lack of clarity. I can't tell if I've missed something (there's no counters in game of collectables as far as I can tell so far) or not triggered something, or shut myself out of something right now by reaching The End cutscene. It's really frustrating to rub your face against every wall trying to make sure you haven't missed something…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is perfect for unwinding and enjoying its captivating storyline and increasingly challenging puzzles. I also want to highlight the game's remarkable art style, where the colors and overall aesthetic blend seamlessly, ensuring that it remains engaging and enchanting as you continue to explore its magical world.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game just moves way too slow. There are vast areas to traverse and the character walks very slowly. I gave up on Chapter 4 with the light puzzle as I just couldn't stand going back and forth lining up the crystals. Chapter 3 was bad enough with an unnecessarily large library that I had to slog through. By 4 hours, I was extremely bored with the pace of play. I like a good puzzle game but while the puzzles are not too incredibly hard they just require way too much travel time to complete. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had enough at just past 15% of the game. The puzzles are ridiculous and having to solve some by guessing until it works is silly. Especially when you are told after that the solution was on something nearby, which it never is as I looked. All the walkthroughs on the clock tower clock puzzle all guess until it works. From then on it gets worse and watching people mass guessing in the walkthroughs in the hope of getting how it works just becomes a complete pain.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has some problems with tedium, both with your character and with puzzles. Your character moves fairly slowly through this large expansive world, which isn't necessarily a bad thing in a casual game like this where you're leisurely exploring beautiful environments, except for the many, many blatant signs that there's going to be a lot of backtracking later on. I can only hope there's a movement speed upgrade later in the game that'll make that less painful. Meanwhile certain puzzles…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazing game to have a great relaxing time! Incredibly beautiful art, pleasant sound effects, and unique characters. If you enjoy platformer adventures, calm puzzles, and exploration - definitely go for this one!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its finally out! The puzzles are challenging and fun. Music and Visuals are just amazing. Hope the OST will also be released in the future.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, but no. I don't mind the puzzles. But I mind when you make me lose my time ON PURPOSE. By that, I mean a fracking puzzle where it's already a pain to form the correct shape and you have to reshuffle it in order to push a lever you can't know you'll need to push (and which one). And they force you to do it SEVERAL TIMES. Yes, I'm shouting. Once was already a lot, having to reshuffle again (and setting it right again later) is not fun gameplay. At all. On top of that, I'll add…

unlabelledView post →I played the demo for this game ages ago and looked forward to the full release. This game wastes the player's time and effort. The character moves far too slowly for the huge map and all the back and forth the player is required to do. Puzzling things out becomes a chore because of all the discouraging backtracking when you're wrong or got the wrong direction. On top of that, the puzzles do require time wasting back and forth for the solutions. That in the end is why I cannot recommend the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's extremly beautiful, but it's empty in terms of the gameplay. I've been hooked by the art style a long time ago before buying this game and the quality and the beauty of chars and locations are amazing, alas, the gameplay has nothing common with it. - Most of the puzzles are illogical and are to be solved by guessing, not by thinking, that makes them tedious and unclear - Some items are just missing in locations, causing softlocks - Level design and gameplay mechanics are inconsistent (no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: - I usually HATE platforming, but the jumping in this game is SO SMOOTH and non-punishing! Every platforming game should be like this. -Super cute rabbit protagonist looking like she’s ready for a tea party:) -Pleasant music. Cons: -A lot of the puzzle answers are not exactly intuitive. I kept mentally comparing it to “Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley”, where the answers make sense as the game naturally leads you to them. Here, it’s rarely the case. -Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an amazingly beautiful game and you can really see how much work was done and how much inspiration was channeled into it. Puzzles are very diverse and they keep the game fresh throughout, so you won't get bored with them. Sometimes things may get a little bit tedious, especially when you have to find N items somewhere in the level so you have to do quite a lot of backtracking. Plus you can't use mouse to solve puzzles, although lots of them would work just fine being clicked…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Need Chinese. Because I'm not used to playing games in English because although I can generally understand them, it takes me a long time to read and comprehend the text, which can dampen my enthusiasm for playing. And if your cost is an issue, I'd be glad to help translate for free, though I'm not a professional.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely loving the music and vibe of this game - the puzzles are unique and quirky. I'm still getting used to the diary, there's a lot there. This was a great deal for so much content - I will have hours more of play ahead of me! I found this game on discord!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have 3 chapters left and don't want it to end. It's a pretty game. It completes my dream of navigating in a dream-like painting. Every room/scene is enjoyable to look at. So very soothing. Thank you dev for giving me a wonderful weekend. And likely a few lovely nights before I finish the whole game.

unlabelledView post →Puzzles for Clef is one of the loveliest puzzle games I've ever played. The diary really helps you navigate through the enigmas, as it notes everything important for you. The designs are so cute, you get to play some music, overall it's just a super pleasant experience. I did get stuck on a few puzzles, as some of them are really tricky, but overall I think anyone can manage most of them. Please note : It's not fully complete yet. There a few achievements that are on Steam but cannot be…

This game was just right amount of head scratching for me. The only thing I wish it had : the counter for all the bells and birds collected. 10/10 found recommend to a friend, if I had any lol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An extremely enjoyable experience. Fun and full of puzzles that strike the perfect balance of challenge and fairness, keeping you engaged without frustration. It succeeds in creating a really charming atmosphere with its cozy art and music. Overall really fun playing around as a bunny solving her puzzles! Almost as if you were given a treasure hunt as a birthday gift!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game, but I just don't. It feels so slow and the puzzles are not intuitive at all. I feel like I have made no progress in the game at all. It's pretty though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty nice game! It worths its time. Despite my criticism below, there are enjoyable puzzles, straightforward and easy story, cute art, and Ukrainian localization. A bit of bitter: - Uninteractible chests and dialog about the dragon repair without actual quest leave the feel of an unfinished game. - The state of objects in the castle location is not saved: the next time you come into a room with repaired tapestry, it is torn again. - It would be nice to have abilities to unlock Rabbit Holes…

I LOVE THIS GAME! But it also frustrated me. I love, love, LOVE the detail and hard work that went into this game. I can tell many talented hands went into this project, and it is absolutely radiant! The execution, however, is lacking in some areas. And as someone who loves this game, and yes I will be playing it at least one more time, I want to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2 years since the realese date, Puzzles For Clef has earned a whooping 100 reivews. Whoever designed the puzzles ruined this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MASSIVE caveat: I'm reviewing it having given up halfway through because this is a great game for someone who is not me and I'm just frustrated with it at this point. Here's the thing: if you're into puzzles that are puzzles for their own sake--like a sudoku book--then this is great. And it is great in gameplay--the music gets grating after several loops but fortunately changes with each scene. The art is beautiful. But I'm going to strangle the sister character and, behind her, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun. The world is large and fun to explore, including the story and even the world building stories. Puzzles are challenging but so far do not feel unfair. And who can forget how cute everything is? So adorable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Once again have forgotten to hit Record before starting the game. I have two things to trim down now GUUUU But Puzzles For Clef is a very cute and beautiful game! The way it gives hints or makes puzzle solutions more clear, though, is a bit rough. But that could just be me, am big dumb.

I discovered the truth about the damage to the mechanical dragon in the theater, but I didn't find a way to repair it until the game was completed. 2. There are many hidden treasure chests on the map, but I didn't find any way to open them until the game was completed, nor did I receive any prompts. 3. One achievement was completing the notebook, and I also noticed that…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great puzzle/quest game, which reminded me of classical Kyrandia series, with an exception, than you cannot die. The graphics is gorgeous, the puzzles make sense and are quite balanced - both me and my daughter enjoyed it a lot. I haven't finished the game though - just in the process.

It's a chill game starring Clef, whose sister organized a puzzle hunt for her birthday! The puzzles are numerous and challenging, but so so satisfying to solve.
