LEAVES: The Journey

This is a difficult puzzle game superimposed on evocative dadaist art. It's not really an "adventure" because there's no real story nor interaction beyond the puzzles. Despite the difficulty, all the puzzles are logical and can be solved with enough patience and thought. They are not groundbreaking, but are original, well designed, and very satisfying. The game world has a memorable underlying cohesion, but don't expect the breathtaking scope and grandeur of Myst. Still, those who enjoy that kind of deliberate puzzle solving will surely enjoy LEAVES as a tasty little snack.

My caveats are about bugs and controls. Annoyingly, sometimes the "back" button doesn't work, but at least there is a workaround: go into the menu and return to the game. Not fun. The controls are terribly designed: accessing the in-game inventory requires you to click on a tiny little handle, which often appears on top of objects in the game. Also not fun.
