You find a letter from a mentor telling you he left you a discovery that will change the world. But it is inside a gigantic chest and the only way to open it is to figure out how the contraptions to open it work. So the chest is in front of you, have at it.

And so the room begins, you touch the screen to rotate, push, pull, and manipulate the chest. The concept is exciting at first, that sense of discovery is strong. Basically you rotate around the chest and zoom in on objects that maybe interacted with. You will find switches that need certain combinations, the solution is always to be observant as the answer is always within reach, you just need to find it. You will gather keys and other objects but they are always easy to figure where they go.

After some progress you find another contraption within the chest and so on. You will find that the puzzles all follow the same pattern. It becomes an excrsise in observation, you keep looking around till you notice the next part of the process you need to solve. There aren't any real puzzles that require you to think, getting stuck will mostly mean you are missing something.

I have played much better interactive object manipulator games on the wii, sack and wiki comes to mind. This game is so basic in comparison. The story isnt that great either. The whole experience is over in 2 or 3 hours. It works for mobile but I am used to better game experiences than this. It's not bad, it's not good either, it just is, a classic 5 game.
