Put your thinking caps on. Memory's Reach is a non-traditional metroidvania game, one that tasks you with solving complex puzzles woven deep into the fabric of the levels and environments themselves as you explore the intricate ruins of an alien civilization. We talk to the game's developer Ben about the design process behind such puzzle-based gameplay, and how one goes about making environmental puzzles feel natural and believable!
