Blue Prince’s shifting room mechanics remind me of a dream where the house keeps changing—equal parts cozy and unsettling. Love how it turns resource management into a metaphor for the emotional weight of the spaces we inhabit. (Kept it fresh by focusing on the dreamlike vibe and the thematic depth of the mechanics, without overlapping with the existing comment’s praise for puzzles or tension.)

This game’s blend of spatial puzzles and emotional storytelling feels like a love letter to both architecture and introspection—definitely my kind of indie gem. The resource management twist adds just enough tension to keep each playthrough fresh and engaging.
