The movement is a little imprecise, but the movement puzzles are not too hard to figure out or execute. He can run, jump, fight in a pretty standard action platformer manner.

But the world itself serves mostly as a backdrop to introduce a variety of puzzle challenges and plenty of platforming. The Synapsians sometimes give hints about the universe and often talk more like children rather than adults (or maybe the game was translated from French and did a bad job?). There are plenty of other characters to meet and exchange a few lines of dialogue with. This fantasy space is built on lairs of traditional knowledge and the pair seeks to challenge these axioms and make their peers more open-minded. The story is built around Nero and Sci, two well-designed characters that explore their world called Hemeide. I engaged with it on Steam, and it can also be played on the Nintendo made Switch. I finally solve another jumping puzzle and get to the exit before investing in a better attack and faster movement for the zones ahead.Ī Tale of Synapse: The Chaos Theories is a title developed by Souris-Lab and published by Tesure Games. It’s then just a matter of pushing a few buttons and pulling a lever before I get the wheel mechanism at the center of the room to work. A short conversation points me towards the solution for the area I am currently exploring.

I then manipulate a few shapes into designated areas to get some more currency for upgrades.

I move a cube around to create some extra height for a double jump up to a ledge, before slashing one enemy that seems more afraid of me than I am of it.
