Kredolis

Beyond its breathtaking visuals and fascinating setting, Kredolis is a solid puzzle game that will challenge your wits every step of the way. As your character finds themselves lost in the middle of a multigenerational mystery, will you be able to uncover all the secrets hiding in plain sight?

If you're a fan of brain teasers with a solid narrative and an outstanding art direction, Kredolis might be a dream come true for you. While some of the puzzles might prove a bit frustrating for obscure for newer players, old-school gamers that lived through the glory days of the point-and-click genre will find a diamond in the rough with this game.

Atlantean Treasures

The game begins with your character shipwrecked on a mysterious island. Cue the similarities with the classic Myst – as sparse as they might be. You soon discover that the island was part of Atlantis, and you'll have to solve a series of ancient puzzles if you hope to ever abandon the island.

To make things even more complicated, sometime in the 70s, a mysterious institute took hold of the island, giving you some extra tasks to solve to see what the Atlanteans on the island discovered long before your modern brethren ever arrived.

Aside from the usual puzzles, exploration also proves a fundamental part of Kredolis' gameplay loop. Thankfully, the visual variety will please players looking for some truly breathtaking locations.

A Puzzling Paradise

Just one look at Kredolis and its gorgeous graphics is all it takes to fall in love with the game's art style. From ancient greek ruins to exotic island locations, there are all sorts of mysterious places to discover in this addictive puzzle marathon.

Fans of the 2016 classic The Witness will find some clear similarities between that game and Kredolis. From its first-person puzzle gameplay approach to the overall look and feel of the game, Kredolis is a love letter to this very specific genre – which should be great news for a select group of players.

Sure, the game might look great in screenshots, but how good is it once you actually try to play it?

Performance and Gameplay

The development team behind Kredolis did an outstanding job with the game's engine. Not only does the game look and feel great, but it also runs buttery smooth in almost any kind of rig you throw at it.

Every aspect of the game's design pops up thanks to the amazingly optimized performance, delivering a truly next-gen experience that adapts to most PCs.

When it comes to puzzles, even though some of them have rather obscure solutions, most of the time the answers are hidden in plain sight. It only takes a bit of lateral thinking to solve some of the trickiest brain teasers on the island, and the payoff is always worth it.

The fact that Kredolis also includes an engaging story that's adequately decorated with twists and mysteries is just the icing on the cake. If you're a fan of entertaining puzzle games that can truly challenge your wits, then, by all means, give Kredolis a chance!
