If you loved the overall style of Portal and enjoy puzzle games, Total Reload looks like one to keep in your watch list. The developers recently updated the game to include a Native Linux demo too.

A strange sounding one, with a description from the developer that leaves more questions than answers. There's something wrong with the Universe itself apparently it's just one big disaster, so you're going to try and reboot it all. Well, that's certainly an idea.

As they said: "The game world of TOTAL RELOAD consists of many locations connected by special devices for fast movement called Quantum Transporters. Each location has different energy sources that you have to combine into a single network with Quantum Transporters. Some energy sources are located in hard-to-reach places, and to get there, you'll have to use wires to temporarily supply power to various objects: moving platforms, sensor grids, energy filters and closed doors. In TOTAL RELOAD you have to learn to “think with wires” or, in other words, understand that by temporarily supplying power to various objects you can get to previously inaccessible locations."

With my luck, the game wouldn't install properly the first time, and I'd end up having to do a . . .

Getting Talos Principle and Qube vibes from it, both of which the little one loved. So I've wishlisted it & I'll check out the demo when I get a chance.
